OUR MISSON

GPEG will be a non-political, independent think tank committed to objective analysis of Guernsey projects, problems and opportunities.  It will be a key source of reliable information and good ideas to benefit Guernsey society.  Our mission is to help Guernsey build a sustainably secure, prosperous and just society.

We will work with politicians, the civil service, business, members of the community and external sources to produce independent, circumspect, objective research and analysis to fill the ‘information gap’ which would otherwise exist.  Our purpose is to:
 

  • Enable Government to make  informed decisions; and

  • Assist the public in understanding the key issues through discussion and provision of a clearer, more ‘available’ information base,

​

We are funded by donations and membership subscriptions.
