In the context of Cape Verde, this joint initiative by the Bill &amp; Melinda Gates Foundation and the Global Development Network (GDN) presents a strategic opportunity to drive local innovation. The creation of public and interoperable digital infrastructure enables small businesses, citizens and financial institutions to carry out transactions quickly and at low cost, overcoming the geographical barriers inherent in the archipelago\u2019s insularity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Impact on the Cape Verdean Ecosystem<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This grant programme is designed to support researchers, policy-makers and innovators in developing pragmatic solutions based on the open networks model. In Cape Verde, strengthening these technological architectures could revolutionise key sectors such as tourism, the blue economy, e-commerce and mobile payments. By eliminating unnecessary intermediaries and reducing transaction fees, the initiative aims to financially integrate the populations of all the islands, boosting the country\u2019s competitiveness in the regional arena.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to participate<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The selected projects will receive financial support and access to a global network of experts to carry out impact studies, technology pilots or public policy proposals. Above all, we are seeking proposals that demonstrate sustainability, a focus on gender equality and practical solutions to the challenges of literacy and financial inclusion in the Cape Verdean context.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is the ideal opportunity to position Cape Verde at the forefront of Africa\u2019s digital economy, transforming the national financial ecosystem through knowledge and open-source technology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Important Information for Applicants:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Submission deadline:<\/strong> 21 August 2026<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Link to the application form and full terms and conditions:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/app.gdn.int\/grantee_portal\/auth\">https:\/\/app.gdn.int\/grantee_portal\/auth<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Find out how the open transaction network economy is revolutionising financial and digital inclusion in Cape Verde.
