How can we help?

Giftcards awarded for team achievements reinforce positive emotions and intrinsic motivation. They promote cohesion and willingness to perform.

Giftcards in Eritrea are mainly used in retail and tourism. Electronic systems are still at an early stage and would require government approval if introduced.

In Cabo Verde there is no specific legal rule on the validity period of Giftcards. Under the Civil Code, a general limitation period of three years applies. Merchants may set validity individually but must state it clearly.

Modern systems enable digital Giftcards with QR codes, app integration, or online top-ups. They simplify administration and redemption and provide data for performance measurement for municipalities and providers.

With industrialisation, systematic discount and product coupon models emerged for the first time. Brands such as Liebig or department stores introduced paper coupons that could be exchanged for products, a direct precursor of modern Giftcards.
