Abstract
- In recent years the community of Fogo Island-Change Islands has been facing numerous challenges to its sustainability, such as the decline of the fishing industry, an increase in out-migration, a decreasing birth
rate, and an aging population. This shift in demographics, due to the changing fishing industry is posing
economic and social challenges that are forcing the community of Fogo Island-Change Islands to invest
in a new mindset for survival. In an attempt to revitalize and diversify the economy, Fogo Island-Change
Islands has embarked upon a joint planning process of development through the creation of a socio-
economic strategic plan for the community. The long-term goal of the project is to strengthen the social and economic viability of the area through the creation of a strategic plan that will support and advance the economic and entrepreneurial environment of the Islands, improving the quality of the social fabric of the community.
