| Ambassador Fatima Veiga attends fund raiser dinner to honor Norberto Tavares |
It was a crowded night at “Clube Recordações de Portugal” in New Bedford, MA, venue that hosted a fundraiser dinner to honor musician Norberto Tavares, a native Cape Verdean, for his invaluable contribution to Cape Verdean music and culture.
The Ambassador of Cape Verde to the United States of America, H.E. Fatima Veiga was present in solidarity for this artist very much cherished within the community. A number of artists were also present, some traveling from Cape Verde, to perform and show their support in this particularly challenging time for Norberto, due to his health difficulties. They were Naiss Roberto, Calú Bana, Cândida Rose, Zé Galvão, Zeca di Nha Reinalda, Tói Pinto and Belinda.
Norberto, in turn, awarded the crowd by performing 3 songs, in what was the high point of the night.
The event was an initiative of Neves Travel Agency, with sponsorships by TACV, Atlantic Shipping, Cabo Video, Porton di Nôs Ilha, Camin Pa Cabo Verde, Radio di Nôs and H-Tech Solution.

| CAPE VERDE is the 153rd Member of World Trade Organization (WTO) |
 On 23 July 2008, the WTO welcomed Cape Verde as its newest member. Cape
Verde started its accession negotiations in 1999 and ratified its accession package to the WTO on 23 June 2008, which was the final step in the accession process before it could officially join the WTO. Under WTO rules, a country becomes a member 30 days after national ratification.
“Being part of the WTO will enable Cape Verde to continue its integration into the world economy,” said Director-General Pascal Lamy.
Since 1991, the country has pursued market-oriented economic policies, facilitating foreign investment, fostering the private sector through privatisations, developing tourism, light manufacturing industries and fisheries. Cape Verde has also developed its transport, communications and energy facilities.
Its main trading partners are Portugal, Netherlands, Brazil, Spain, Italy, the US and France. The biggest importer to Cape Verde is Portugal (EUR 116.79 million in 2007). Cape Verde's exports to Portugal were worth EUR 4.41 million in 2007.

| E-Government in CAPE VERDE: A success story |
 As outlined in the Information Society Strategic Program, electronic government is one of the pillars of the development of the Information Society in Cape Verde. The transformation of Cape Verde implies winning the battle of competitiveness and the modernization of the economy and the society. The Communication and Information Technologies (ICT’s) are a factor of Cape Verde’s active insertion in the global economy, helping to breakdown the barriers of our island condition so that the country may be tuned with the world, accompanying the major changes, and participate in the evolution of know-how and knowledge, be close to the centers of decision-making, detect opportunities and put them to the service of Cape Verde’s own development.
The government’s bet on electronic governance is an imperative to improve the efficiency of the State, public administration, both central and local, thus strengthening the Rule of Law, since the information technologies help to promote transparency, accountability and democracy.
A recent case study “Small States, Smart Solutions” just released by the World Bank during the Spring Meetings shows how Cape Verde has managed to overcome, through information and communication technologies, the handicaps of it size and isolation and reduce the costs and increase the effectiveness of public goods and services, and how to reduce the costs of connectivity with the rest of the world.
