About CGSGI
Established by President Bill Clinton and Canadian philanthropist Frank
Giustra in 2007, CGSGI is an innovative partnership between the William
J. Clinton Foundation (the ‘implementing partner’ for CGSGI), the
private sector, governments, local communities, and NGOs to increase the
scale, scope, impact, and sustainability of social and economic
development efforts in countries where the natural resource industries
are an important part of the economy.
CGSGI will build on the Clinton Foundation’s proven track record as an
operational NGO in the developing world, and on President Clinton’s
ability to mobilize political will and spark multi-sectoral cooperation.
Currently, the initiative is being launched in three countries in Latin
America-Colombia, Peru, and Mexico. In the coming months, CGSGI will
look to expand its activities into Africa.
