The Statistical Yearbook is a public service publication, very particular, that many NSI edit, representing a synthesis of all the official statistics on the state of the respective country's society. The fundamental objective of AECV is to work as a "gateway" to our country's Official Statistics, providing a "reference publication" of INE, by serving as the best card-to-visit. The first AECV, after a period of more than two decades is borne by the INE as a particular reference publication since, unlike other publications, within the sector, is addressed far more to the public than to the experts, presenting a summary of the official national statistical production. Thus, the AECV seeks a balance on meeting the needs of this heterogeneity of users, by reflecting the involvement of all relevant and pertinent expertise within INE. The AECV was drawn from a set of official statistics produced by the National Statistics Institute, by other Officials Statistics Producers (BCV and INE delegate Bodies) and information provided by other public bodies, and the raw material for the production of these statistics is the information provided by citizens, businesses and organizations and public sector services, through answers to their censuses and surveys, and data from administrative sources, which allows it to continue its mission to “produce and disseminate so efficiently, quality official statistical information [reliable, timely and punctual] necessary for the objective knowledge of a changing society, which helps Cabo Verdeans to get to know their country, their people, their resources, their economy, their society and their culture.” It should be noted that the reference period throughout this edition of AECV is not uniform, and the temporal scope is 2010-2015. This publication is divided into 10 chapters: Territory; Population and Social Conditions; Health; Education; Economy and Finance; External Trade; Industry, Trade and Services; Agriculture and Fisheries; Environment; and Political Participation - which, in turn, are explained in more detail in the respective subchapters. INE thanks the valuable cooperation of all the institutions that provided information for the contents of this Yearbook and, especially, the professionalism of the technicians involved that make this first edition possible. Finally, requests its users that submit all criticisms and suggestions they deem relevant to improve AECV next edition. António dos Reis Duarte President 5 Presentation This document, Cabo Verde Statistical Yearbook 2015 (AECV 2015), delivers statistical information provided by various bodies of statistical production that are part of the National Statistical System (NSS) as well as other institutions that are not part of NSS, which have also provided information contained in this yearbook. The information highlighted in this document refer to the most recent period possible, (2015 - depending on data availability) and the vast majority of the data covers the period 2010-2014. Consisting of thirty-six subchapters, gathered in ten themes (Territory, Population and Social Conditions, Health, Education, Economy and Finance, Industry, Commerce and Services, Foreign Trade, Agriculture and Fisheries, Environment and Political Participation) also provides a brief analysis for each theme based on the data in order to assist the user in reading and understanding of the information contained. The structure of the tables usually presents data in time series, giving emphasis to the most recent year data being disaggregated at the level of municipalities or the islands (and where possible the breakdown in terms of sex, or the means of residence) allowing comparability between different entities over time.
