A message about our team

working with governments, firms, multilateral development banks and bilateral aid agencies, CGA strives to advance the development of an efficient and transparent public sector, as well as the development of dynamic and thriving private and financial sectors. Our work is guided by our belief that the Government, when efficient, provides invaluable services to the citizen, but it is most effective by working in partnership, with the public sector governing with sound policies and efficient institutions, the private sector leading economic development and a competitive financial sector bringing in much needed financial resources then society as a whole stands to gain. This cooperation is the best way to bring about inclusive, pro-poor growth and reduce the prospect of conflict. Our work is guided by the belief that Governments provide invaluable services to the citizen.

Our experts specialize providing advice and delivering technical assistance in the design, the implementation, the supervision and the evaluation of government policies, programs and projects. We further specialize in designing and applying program approaches that engage the private sector in development and provide advice advice to regulators and international financial institutions to deepen the financial sector.

Most importantly, we are a team of seasoned professionals who have a long and successful experience working to bring to our client bespoken responses to their needs.
