Our work is also advanced by a team of regional affiliates. They bring their invaluable relationships with key local and regional actors in the arenas of finance, government and major industries. They are known for their industry and country specific knowledge, as well as their ability to deliver accurate and on-time market intelligence. They are connection builders and provide us in many instances with ‘First Mover Advantage’.

With our emphasis on developing capacity for Small and Medium Size Enterprises (SMEs), EGC through our local affiliates, ferrets out opportunities that are characterized by scalability, strong management practices and established patterns of success. Our enduring objective is to provide an enabling platform that strengthens and accelerates the agency of these enterprises. We work with our local partners to prepare the SMEs for suitable short or medium term investments or for long term partnerships. The structure of these relationships is driven by the vision and goals of both investors and beneficiaries.


Additionally, our affiliates specifically engage with issues of deep social relevance that are within our areas of competence. In this regard, relationships with national and local officials are critical. They are tasked with building these relationships and acquiring a clear sense of the problems impacting their communities. These empowering relationships and understandings form the basis of the transformative partnerships that are utilized in problem-solving.
