The group is led by the Director General & Executive Director, who is supported by Resource Group Directors, Project Coordinator, Programme Managers, Knowledge Managers, Project Managers, Project Leaders, Team Leaders and System Designers. The focus of research and other activities undertaken by the core group rests on a wide range of areas covering socio-economic, political and technological issues. The group is supported by consultants working on selected research and e-development projects. It constantly interacts with Secretaries, Heads of Department, District Collectors, local officials and People's Organizations to ensure that CGG focuses on practical implementation of reforms rather than theoretical recommendations.
