Centre for Global Affairs
and Public Policy -

Centre for Global Affairs and Public Policy (CGAPP) is a non-profit, independent organisation established in 2021, dedicated to advancing interdisciplinary research and action at the intersection of governance, economy, and global affairs.

While rooted in rigorous policy research, CGAPP has evolved to actively bridge the gap between policy design and on-ground implementation. The organisation works closely with local governments and public institutions to address civic challenges through technology-enabled solutions and innovative frameworks, enabling more efficient, scalable, and citizen-centric governance.

CGAPP also plays a catalytic role in supporting impact-driven startups, particularly those operating in sectors such as climate-tech, urban innovation, and public service delivery. Through strategic guidance, ecosystem access, and partnership facilitation, the organisation helps early- and growth-stage ventures navigate complex policy environments and scale sustainably.

A key emerging focus for CGAPP is the creative economy and cities as engines of growth. The organisation explores how urban centres can leverage culture, creativity, and innovation to drive economic development, enhance livability, and foster inclusive growth.
