China Geo-Engineering Corporation (CGC) is a state-owned Chinese construction enterprise recognized among the top 250 global contractors by revenue, reporting $665.6 million from international projects in 2012.
Headquartered in Beijing, CGC has completed numerous water infrastructure initiatives throughout Africa. In 2005, it won a contract against ten other bidders to develop water supply systems in Mozambique's Xai-Xai and Chokwe regions. In Zambia, CGC progressed with the Kabwe water and sanitation scheme despite delays caused by government funding issues. By the end of 2007, the Zambian authorities agreed to pay 1 billion kwacha in overdue amounts, a decision that received favorable coverage from local media outlets.
Starting operations in Ghana in 2005 with water well drilling, CGC later expanded its portfolio to include wider water and infrastructure projects. By 2013, its Ghanaian division employed roughly 1,000 people, including 800 local workers, and generated an annual revenue near $50 million through contracts related to water systems, road construction, and hospital facilities.
