Cabo Verde solid waste management has traditionally been organized around its 22 municipalities with most of the solid waste - around 113,000 tonnes per year in 2010 - still going directly into open dumps, with the exception of the city of Praia which currently operates a sanitary landfill. In addition, while there is potential for capturing energy in wastewater treatment plants, the use of sludge for thermal power generation purposes remains at concept stage. Cabo Verde initiated an ambitious governance reform process to overcome the deficiencies in the sanitation sector. The 2010 the National Basic Sanitation Plan is currently being updated through the Waste Roadmap for Cabo Verde (Roadmap de Resíduos de Cabo Verde).
