Cra Global Development

CRA Global Development is a leading advisory firm specializing in SME development, entrepreneurial ecosystem strengthening, and investment readiness in emerging markets. Formerly known as Credit Rating Analytics, we have evolved from a focus on credit ratings to empowering SMEs and Entrepreneur Support Organizations (ESOs) with the tools and strategies they need to thrive. Credit Rating Analytics now operates as a division within CRA Global Development. Our work includes designing innovative frameworks for SME growth, building capacity for businesses and institutions, and enhancing access to finance for underserved sectors. Our groundbreaking initiatives include developing Africa’s first public sector SME grading system in collaboration with the Nigerian government, which has set new standards for supporting SMEs across the continent. We have collaborated with organizations such as the United Nations Economic Commission For Africa, UNCTAD, The World Bank Group, The African Union, and sovereign governments to deliver transformative projects that address economic diversification, trade facilitation, and operational capacity building. At CRA Global Development, we are dedicated to delivering actionable solutions that drive sustainable impact for businesses and economies worldwide.
