Abstract

This report presents a territorial diagnosis of Cabo Verde and São Tomé e Príncipe, focusing on the sectors relevant to the CULTIVAR project — including cultural heritage, natural heritage, tourism, and local food products. Drawing on desk research, literature review, field missions, and unstructured interviews with key stakeholders, the report applies SWOT analysis as a central tool to evaluate the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats shaping the development potential of both archipelagos.
