Private Sector Development

Private Sector Development CG International believes that in Private Sector Development a critically important role is played by micro, small and medium enterprises which make up over 90% of enterprises worldwide and create 50-60% of employment in developing countries. This kind of work will provide the means to deal with critical issues in the developing world including rural, youth, indigenous, & womens entrepreneurship, household security, food security, and civil society. Private sector development (PSD) is a major source for international development activities, and the growing role of the private sector in achieving sustainable development and poverty alleviation is evident worldwide. The offshoots of PSD can be the provision of basic services, empowering the poor by improving quality and access to health services, education and infrastructure.

CG International focuses on the development of micro and small business creation and growth. It is through these enterprises that economic growth that benefits the poor and middle class will come. It stregthens communities and creates a demand for infrastructure, and allows citiznes to stay in their home communites if they choose.
