Positive developments marked the beginning of the year: an international donor conference in March resulted in higher donations and credit commitments than expected. Political stability, enhanced governance, and significant infrastructural improvements resulted in economic recovery and widespread popular confidence. However, by the second half of the year deep political divisions emerged between Prime Minister Domingos Simões Pereira, who was also the president of the ‘Partido Africano da Independência da Guiné e Cabo Verde’ (paigc), and President José Mário Vaz (paigc). Eventually, Vaz dismissed the all-party government, which resulted in constitutional controversies. The new government, headed by paigc veteran Carlos Correia, remained unstable due to divisions both within the ruling paigc and with the second largest party, the ‘Partido para a Renovação Social’ (prs), which remained absent from the new government.
