Ex-CBN Analyst Launches Tech Platform to Revolutionize Charitable Giving in Nigeria
Antonia Davies, a former business analyst who honed her skills navigating complexities within the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) and the private sector, is now at the forefront of a promising initiative aimed at reshaping the landscape of charitable giving in Nigeria. Having witnessed firsthand the intricacies of social impact programs and the often-opaque processes of tracking results, Davies recognized a critical need for greater transparency and accountability. This understanding fueled her to create Uplift Nigeria, a tech-driven platform designed to bridge the gap between donors and beneficiaries.
Building Trust Through Transparency: Uplift Nigeria’s Mission
Uplift Nigeria is a for-profit startup built on the principle of making giving more measurable and meaningful. The platform leverages technology to create a clear, traceable pathway for donations, addressing the challenges that currently hinder effective resource allocation. Davies’s experience, including a stint within the CBN, provided her with a deep understanding of systemic challenges, particularly regarding the impact of social programs. This knowledge, coupled with the stark reality presented in a UNICEF report highlighting the prevalence of child food poverty, became the catalyst for Uplift Nigeria. The platform prioritizes verification processes, ensuring funds reach the intended recipients. Davies’s approach aligns with the growing demand for accountability within the African tech space, as consumers and donors alike seek trustworthy platforms they can rely on.
The project focuses on building trust and helping to deliver the social impact of programs.
