CESO recovered a collection of over 170 documents, resulting from more than 40 projects and close to 25 articles, which was delivered to the Guinea-Bissau Government.

At a time when Guinea-Bissau launches a new development cycle, this information will provide tools for a better understanding of the country's history since independence; it is also a useful source of knowledge for the challenges the country is facing.

This retrieval of knowledge generated by CESO in 35 years of experience in Guinea-Bissau, began in an internal project called Boomerang. It was started about a year ago and reflects the company's approach to consulting for development.

As mentioned by Professor Américo Ramos dos Santos, President of the Board, “CESO has always been an institution devoted to the production and transfer of knowledge, which is not owned by the company but for those who honoured us with their trust. Our obligation is to preserve this knowledge, value and make it available."

This documentation was presented at a ceremony headed by His Excellency the Prime Minister of Guinea Bissau, which took place on July 1st at the Government Palace in the capital city. At the ceremony, were also present the Ministers for Economic Affairs and Finance, Health, Public Works, as well as the Secretaries of State for Planning, Higher Education, the Ambassadors of Portugal, Brazil and CPLP (Community of Portuguese Language Countries), the Director of the National Institute for Studies and Research and several management officers from Guinea-Bissau. 

Guinea-Bissau was the first country to receive this comprehensive collection of knowledge generated by CESO.

Other countries equally important in the company's history will follow soon.
