At the meeting, Dr Geraldina Almeida, Director of the Human Resources and General Affairs Directorate within the Cape Verdean Government, also reaffirmed her commitment to continuing to implement strategies and mechanisms to support staff, and to provide monitoring and preventative measures that contribute to the-well-being of staff by promoting a healthier and more people-centred organisational culture.

The symbolic opening ceremony was attended by the Secretary-General of the Government, Dr Lediane Barbosa Moreira; the Director of the Directorate of Human Resources and General Affairs at the Office of the Government of Cape Verde, Dr Geraldina Almeida, and the Director-General of Planning, Budget and Management (DGPOG) at the Office of the Government, Dr Elisângela Cardoso Vieira.
