Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) for the Cargo village - Cabo Verde

This environmental impact assessment report examines the first phase of the Port of Praia expansion and modernisation project, funded through a grant from the United States Government Millennium Challenge Corporation and implemented by the Government of Cape Verde. It describes the construction of a cargo village, new access road, quay rehabilitation works, and associated infrastructure, and also considers potential impacts of a second phase involving a breakwater, quay extension and land reclamation. The report sets out the institutional and legal framework, outlines construction methods and resource requirements, identifies likely impacts such as noise, dust, contamination and traffic disruption, and defines mitigation, monitoring and reporting measures during construction and operation.
