CGA Technologies is an international development consultancy firm registered in the UK, with associated companies in South Sudan, Kenya, Sierra Leone, and Malawi; and with staff based in Somalia, Tanzania, Uganda, and Zambia. Since 2011, CGA has worked as a majority African national staff in partnership with governments, the private and civil sectors, school systems, and local communities to deliver national-scale, sustainable change in the fragile and/or poor countries where it operates. CGA specializes in doing that by supporting participation and achievement in education, and the delivery of quality and consistent basic services and cash to those in-need.

CGA Technologies specializes in developing practical management systems for governments and supporting organizations to deliver cash and basic services more effectively with disaggregate and near-real-time accountability, transparency and results data. In projects in challenging contexts, our consultants provide or support strategy development, policy design and guidance, information systems and bespoke technology, and on-ground implementation and operationalization.

Its technology typically facilitates cash transfers for education, health and social protection; tracks school attendance and health records; and supports government ministries with payroll and human resource systems. This work allows funds and assurance to flow sustainably and enhance basic service sectors to play their role in the fight against extreme poverty.
While CGA’s focus is on implementation, its consultants support this work through policy and strategy design and guidance as well as research and assessment.
In October 2019, Charlie Goldsmith Associates (CGA) became an affiliate of Corus International, a family of sustainable development organizations working together in the world’s most fragile settings to address the interconnected challenges of poverty, health care access and climate change.
