Besides the need to enhance capacity of leaders, Associação dos Escuteiros de Cabo Verde, (AECV) is faced with system challenges related to management, outdated Policy and governance processes. Some of the vital documents have not been put in place and from the GSAT Self-Assessment results, some current processes and systems do not respond to the needs of the organization; hence, do not support AECV mandate of delivering Quality Assured Scouting to young people in Cape Verde. From Cape Verde Scout Association to address the issues internally, technical and financial support is required for a sustainable solution to these challenges.

Core to the Growth and sustainability of reputable stable NSO, is the presence of relevant Programme supported by procedures and systems that ensure measurable results.

Cape Verde Scout Association has depended largely on volunteers to support its programs and as it expects to experience growth of its members. Furthermore, AECV has not put in place mechanisms to offer capacity development support to its leaders through regular trainings and offering support mechanisms through robust systems and processes. This has created a capacity gap that threatens to erode gains made towards provision of quality scouting in an environment supported by effective systems and structures.
