EMS/Cabo Verde: the WAQSP strengthens national human resources on the Environmental Management System

As part of its activities, the West Africa Quality System Programme (WAQSP) funded by the European Union (EU) and implemented by UNIDO, organized a three-day training session on the ISO 14001 v 2015 standard, at the Auditorium B of the University UNI-MINDELO / S.VICENTE Island/ Cabo Verde. Then, from 18 to 20 September, 2018, 30 national resources persons were equipped on the requirements of the Environmental Management System (EMS).

The objective is to create in West Africa a critical mass of experts with a deep, useful and effective knowledge of the ISO 14001 v 2015 standard, in order to promote a sustainable and economic development.

During the opening ceremony, Ms. Joana Flor, National Technical Coordinator of the WAQSP in Cabo Verde, welcomed the participants to this training workshop before reiterating the need to build the capacity of national experts on the requirements of the ISO 14001 v 2015 standard. The Regional Director of the Ministry of Industry, Trade and Energy, Mr. Hamilton Dias, said in his speech that environmental concerns are increasingly becoming a convergent commitment in a globalized context, and that associated with dimensions such as social responsibility, safety and health, are the ideal platform for open and modern organizations that wish to become, in a sustainable way, more responsive and better prepared to meet the challenge of competitiveness. Mr. Abraao Lopes, chair of the Institute of Quality Management and Intellectual Property (IGQPI) and focal point of the WAQSP, thanked UNIDO, the European Union and ECOWAS for their support in the area of the quality.

During the three days of training, Ms. Raquel Araùjo, the trainer, exchanged with the participants on some specificities and requirements of the ISO 14001 v 2015 standard.

At the end of the training, participants received certificates from the organizers.

This program is funded by the European Union with the technical support of UNIDO, the implementing Agency
