Partner

The Federation of Small and Medium Enterprises (FSMEs) in Uganda has been the first African entity to believe in KOKONO™ project. We are happy to count on their experience and knowledge of the local context.

The engagement of the Federation of Small and Medium Enterprises (FSMEs) will ensure the production of KOKONO™ in Uganda and the creation of a network of local entrepreneurs supporting KOKONO™, with positive impacts in terms of employment and knowledge sharing on responsible entrepreneurship.

Amref Health Africa was the first NGO to foresee the importance and the innovativeness of a partnership with a responsible business actor like De-LAB Benefit Corporation. We are happy to enforce an Inclusive Business partnership with them!

The partnership with Amref Health Africa will help KOKONO™ reaching the beneficiaries, namely mums and babies between 0 to 12 months in rural villages or suburbs. Also, it will help monitoring the impacts of KOKONO™ on the medium and long run, while strengthening the promotion of the project and its inclusive business model.

We expanded our structural partnerships to include another NGO of excellence: CUAMM Doctors with Africa. With them, we shared a BNL/BNP-PARIBAS Foundation tender for the distribution of 400 cradles in 4 health centres in Karamoja and co-created a social impact assessment study on Kokono. We share with the Padua NGO the will to innovate the way the cradles can reach our beneficiaries, and for this we count on the project ‘Motorbikes for Africa’ so that Ugandan bikers can distribute the cradles (and other medicines placed inside them) in the most remote villages. A Kokono for each biker and a widespread and constant distribution: that is our dream.
