About

What We Do

By 2050, Africa’s youth population is set to double, exceeding 830 million. And with a continental population that's projected to reach 2.5 billion, that means that 1 in 4 people on the planet will be African.

 

We believe that if properly invested in, this young population can drive global economic expansion and meet labor demands in aging regions like Europe and Asia.

That's why we've focused on using comms and tech to promote economic empowerment and sustainable development through our flagship product, Fursa.

Fursa is an Afro-centric platform aimed at putting talented Africans at the center of the conversation – Creating connections, promoting opportunities, and ensuring that the coming demographic surge creates a stronger continent.

Who We Are

CGO's principals, Ben Dwork and Nick Fernandes, have extensive experience and networks across the continent. Having worked in the news, communications, government, and health sectors in Africa, they bring a wealth of experience, local knowledge, and – pivotally – connections.
