About GPA
At Growth & Position Africa (GPA), we recognise the importance of basic services for each of our citizens. However, we believe that you don’t have to be a civil servant to serve our fellow citizens. Instead, we drive change by doing what we do best – partnering both private and public sector to address the glaring disparities that exist for our citizens.

What We Do
Providing the relevant tools to drive reform
Everything we do is aligned with the national narrative of transformation outlined in the National Development Plan – an ambitious, richly-detailed and citizen-centric strategy. However, government is up against an ever-changing landscape that demands continuous innovation, adaptation and improvement – and while they’re urged to look ahead to new challenges and reforms, they must still meet the basic needs of our citizens.
We know that the transformation agenda is stymied by a lack of specialised skills within the public sector – and it’s delaying the reform that is desperately needed. At GPA, we bridge that deficit and put structures in place to strengthen capabilities allround in a relevant, constructive way.
We aim to improve the quality of service delivery and the lives of all citizens through our work. Through our services, the GPA team will implement diagnostic methodologies and tailored solutions that address the challenges that affect transformation, resulting in improved outcomes for citizens and an effective working environment for those who serve them.
How We Do it
Multi-pronged approach to transformation
Through our collective experience we’ve identified five universal areas of need. As such the GPA Group is divided into five entities that each drive a corresponding focus, which work in conjunction with each other within the GPA Universe and culminate in a holistic offering.
THE GPA FIT FOR PURPOSE FORMULA
The manner in which we organised and arranged the functioning of GPA is key in delivering against our commitment.
GPA Group plays a pivotal role to generate the necessary knowledge within the wider firm.
The five entities then draws on this knowledge to fuel the necessary impact to unlock sustainable transformation for those we serve – ultimately improving the lives of citizens.

A collaborative process
Internally, the GPA Group is blessed with core skills and capabilities – but for us to truly affect change in this dynamic environment, collaboration is essential.
The key partnerships that will aid us in making an impactful contribution are:
Academia: Unlocking a pathway for the right skill to enter public service
Professional Bodies and Affiliations: Key to professionalising public service
