UniTI
UniTI is an exciting new partnership bringing together innovation and investment from the UK, Israel, UAE and other gulf states, to further the SDGs in Africa, leading to poverty reduction, jobs and growth.
The value of this unique initiative is in its collective strengths – the intellectual and capital resources of the UK, Gulf States, Israel and African Countries.
Working in this cross-sectional manner, we will harness private sector investment and innovation – backed up by governmental support – to accelerate sustainable development in Africa, helping to unleash its full economic and social potential whilst increasing global prosperity and security.
