Cape Verde, or officially Cabo Verde using the Portuguese name, a tiny archipelago of 10 islands in the Atlantic Ocean, joins Mauritius (in 1973) and Algeria (in 2009) in achieving the certification.

It demonstrates that with strong political will, effective policies, community engagement and multi-sectoral collaboration, malaria elimination is an achievable goal,' said Matshidiso Moeti, WHO Regional Director for Africa.
