Services

SGA, through an established network of trusted specialists, provides a wide array of services. We are technologically savvy particularly around issues of sustainable energy and climate change.

Depending on the challenge, we also regularly combine technical know-how with an array of “softer” skills such as specialized social science research, capacity building and training, economic analysis, program development and management, due diligence and business planning as well as monitoring and evaluation. In other words, we take a comprehensive view of the challenges of technical change and development.

This broad range of services is particularly effective when SGA is faced with challenges of under-development. We have experience working at village and government levels in nearly twenty developing countries providing technology solutions and programs for sustainable energy solutions and the reduction of GHG. We have applied these same skills to Canadian aboriginal communities.
