Our Approach
The Clinton Giustra Sustainable Growth Initiative is applying the Clinton Foundation’s unique approach to enable sustainable growth, with the goal of ultimately changing the way business is done in the developing world.
CGSGI will begin work in Latin America to strengthen enabling factors to growth such as health care, education, and entrepreneurship in Colombia and Peru. Later this year, CGSGI plans to initiate projects in Mexico, and eventually, Africa.
Across these programs and future efforts, several core operating principles guide our work. First, we serve as an honest broker, emphasizing trust, cooperation, and transparency, to bring together stakeholders who have not previously worked together. Second, we identify effective projects currently being implemented by governments, NGOs, and/or the private sector, and explore ways to bring them to scale or replicate and adapt successful initiatives elsewhere. Third, we determine where our expertise and help is needed most – whether it be technical assistance, capacity building, or capital – and work with partners to provide it. Finally, in areas where the Foundation already possesses operational expertise, such as in health and business development, we will partner with local actors on implementation.
