The missions of the CAGI are :
- To facilitate the settlement and integration of international newcomers and their families in Geneva.
- To offer assistance and advice to NGOs and, in collaboration with the relevant authorities, to process applications from NGOs wishing to establish themselves in the Lake Geneva region.
- To support the accommodation of delegates from developing countries to ensure their stay during their participation in conferences, training courses or working meetings.
- To promote exchanges between “International Geneva” and local community through events, cultural and leisure activities.
