According to the Founder's wishes, Unidea privileges, as areas of intervention, developing countries and those areas where the UniCredito Group is present:
Developing countries:
Unidea has identified as a priority area the sub-Sahara region of Africa. The Foundation plans to intervene in the health sector by financing projects and/or carrying out its own interventions in the areas of greatest need. The projects and the interventions will work on the following assumptions:
- respect of local cultures
- development of an integrated basic health network and other social-welfare structures;
- transmission of know-how: training and updating of medical and paramedical staff; sickness handling models;
- favour adequate hygienic-environmental living conditions in order to prevent the transmission and spreading of local disease;
The health interventions will be accompanied throughout the region by co-ordinated actions such as education, expansion of training opportunities and support of modest local economy, always respecting the local situation and culture.
Each project will take into account the information gained from an analysis of the micro-economy, anthropology and inter-dependence of the role of gender both in production and reproduction, and the maintenance of human resources.
The following specific actions will be carried out in relation to identification of intervention sectors, both for the Foundation's own initiatives and those submitted by third parties:
- a detailed and convincing analysis of the quality path it intends to activate from an economic, social and cultural-anthropological viewpoint;
- a detailed accompanying programme relating to the culture of continuity.
Areas where the UniCredito Group is present:
Within the regions where the Group is located, the Foundation has identified as priority intervention areas, apart from Italy, countries in Central and Eastern Europe and the Balkans. The Foundation's work will mainly be aimed at the weakest levels of the population: children, young people, the elderly.
The Foundation proposes:
- to handle children's problems by developing intervention strategies to benefit not only the children who are in conditions of extreme need, but also those who have strong development potential;
- to promote training paths for young people aimed at developing a work culture and, in the case of young people who find themselves in economic and social hardship, to arrange collective support groups;
- to tackle the difficult conditions of the elderly living in great poverty, which derive also from the processes of economic and social transformation, and to favour the participation of the most active old people in social and cultural life.
