The incidence of corruption in Cape Verde is relatively low.[1] While this problem is endemic and widespread elsewhere in Africa, the former Portuguese colony is usually seen as an exception.[2] This is attributed to the stringent legal framework that includes laws, regulations, and penalties that seek to prevent and mitigate it. Transparency International cited Cape Verde along with Botswana, Seychelles, Rwanda, and Namibia as positive examples of African countries that have effective anti-corruption action.[3]
