Diaspora Engagement & Investment Network The Umunya diaspora is one of the community's greatest assets — a network of accomplished professionals, business owners, academics, and public servants spread across North America, Europe, Asia, and beyond. The UPA Diaspora Engagement and Investment Network channels this potential into structured, productive impact. Key Programmes The Umunya Investment Catalogue: A curated portfolio of investment opportunities across agriculture, real estate, manufacturing, retail, and services — presented to potential diaspora investors with full due diligence information. Skills Transfer Programme: Medical doctors conduct health consultations; engineers provide technical advice on infrastructure; lawyers offer pro bono legal services; educators design curriculum and training materials; IT specialists provide technology support. Business Matching Service: UPA facilitates introductions between diaspora entrepreneurs and established business owners in Umunya seeking capital, technology, and market access. Remittance Facilitation: UPA works with financial service providers to make it easier and cheaper for diaspora members to send money to Umunya for both family support and community development contributions. The Annual Convention The UPA Annual Convention is the premier gathering of the Umunya diaspora — a multi-day event bringing together professionals for networking, business discussions, cultural celebrations, and strategic planning. The convention rotates between venues in Nigeria and the diaspora.
