Who We Are
Overview
At UPi, we accompany our clients and partners in the attainment of their development goals. Together, we make development possible through evidence-based and innovative solutions for fighting extreme poverty and socioeconomic injustice. Whether it’s market linkages, financial advisory, women’s economic development, and project-cycle management, our passion for making a difference in the lives of people drives our day-to-day work.
UPi connects the necessary dots and builds synergy among industry and government at all levels and across sectors to eliminate barriers to socioeconomic well-being.
Our Mission
Our mission is to foster ‘Business for All.’ We hope to achieve this through a facilitation and catalytic role so that people and businesses at the bottom of the pyramid (BoP) in frontier economies can step into new roles as suppliers, distributors, retailers, and/or consumers. The ultimate goal is for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), especially agricultural enterprises to become participants in lucrative value chains.
Our Values
Rigorous authenticity of our people.
Social impact should be the ultimate goal of development.
Sustainability practice by enterprises.
Inclusive growth: active participation of the most vulnerable and working in fragile economies.
Tenacity: we pursue our goals and take courageous steps to reach ambitious outcomes.
