As part of the LISER Policy Lab’s activities, the CAIPD recently completed two missions to Praia, Cabo Verde. The first mission was accompanied by Thierry Lippert, Counsellor for development effectiveness and Representative to the DAC of the OECD, who was in charge of the Luxembourg Embassy in Cabo Verde from 2008 to 2012. These missions provided an opportunity to engage with Luxembourg cooperation partners in Praia, as well as with local authorities working in vocational training, labour market development, employment, entrepreneurship, and economic cooperation.
