Many African countries are failing to achieve rapid economical sustainable development due to rampart corruption, misuse, abuse of public resources and poor governance. However, countries who have invested in moral capital, good governance, professionalism and in a disciplined professional-ethical-human capital have had a rapid economic growth. In order to eradicate these malpractices by increasing moral capital, it is agreed that an integrated pedagogy that comprises three pillars namely: appropriate knowledge, right attitude and appropriate skills should be the norm in any education system.

Therefore, CEEG has been created to reverse moral capital decline in Malawi and beyond, through training, research, innovation and community outreach

The multi-university centre of excellence is owned by UNIMA, MUBAS and KUHeS. The Centre of Excellence is housed at KUHES.

The director, with the oversight of the board, has set up a secretariat which runs the day to day operations of the organisation..
