Poor in natural resources, prone to drought and with little arable land, the Cabo Verde or Cape Verde islands have won a reputation for achieving political and economic stability.

The former Portuguese colony comprises 10 islands and five islets, all but three of which are mountainous. The archipelago lies around 500km off the west coast of Africa.

It was at one time an important centre of the slave trade.

During the 20th Century severe droughts caused the deaths of 200,000 people and prompted heavy emigration. Today, more people with origins in the islands live outside the country than inside it. The money that they send home brings in much-needed foreign currency.
