How We Work
By fostering innovative and inclusive development based on evidenced-driven solutions, UPi transforms rural communities and unlocks the business potential of long-marginalized individuals and groups.
UPi connects the necessary dots and builds synergy among local, regional, national, and international actors across sectors intending to tackle barriers to the socioeconomic well-being of smallholders and rural entrepreneurs.
- We promote value chains that create opportunities at all levels.
- We build synergies for promoting US interest in ‘Independence, Self-Reliance, and Growth’ in Africa through Public-Private Partnerships (PPP).
