Cape Verde's internet penetration has reached 65% in 2026, reflecting improved infrastructure but still showing a notable divide between urban and rural areas. Urban access remains high at 85%, whereas rural regions lag at around 40%, highlighting ongoing infrastructure challenges. Digital literacy has grown to 70%, supporting increased online engagement, yet disparities persist, especially in remote communities requiring targeted digital inclusion efforts.
The average broadband speed has increased to 65 Mbps, facilitating better connectivity for businesses and households. E-government services are increasingly utilized, with over half of the population engaging online with government portals. Bridging the digital divide remains crucial for inclusive growth, ensuring equitable access to digital resources and opportunities across all regions of Cape Verde.
