# Global Infrastructure Advisors

> Global Infrastructure Advisors (GIA) provides financial, commercial and project development advisory services for infrastructure and energy projects. Its published company profile describes offices in London, Riyadh and Casablanca and work across Africa, the Middle East and emerging markets.

GIA works with project sponsors, developers, contractors, investors and lenders. Separate public-sector mandates are described on the relevant transaction and experience pages. Services span early assessment, development, procurement, financial modelling and financing through to transaction execution. The linked service pages contain visible, service-specific questions and answers.

GIA is an advisory firm. Financing and insurance remain subject to the decisions of the relevant capital providers and agencies. Technical, legal, tax and environmental responsibilities are agreed with the appointed specialists. GIA describes itself as a FAST Standard signatory; this is distinct from individual certification or training-provider accreditation.

The links below are public canonical pages. Experience descriptions should be read for the stated assignment scope and status; a project listing is not a claim that GIA financed, constructed or completed every asset. Enquiries can be made through the contact page without initially supplying confidential documents. Directory prepared on 15 September 2026.
