Executive Summary

Overview Buikwe is district in the central coastal region of Uganda, with a village of the same name. CTI

Africa began planning its first pilot project in Buikwe in 2017 with the hopes of improving the

sustainability and effectiveness of social impact development in the developing world through

the use of advanced and emerging technologies. In 2018 CTI Africa began working with on the

ground and foreign partners, to develop Uganda Rescue, to build physical infrastructure to pair

with their developing tech, and collected significant data on pilot project participants. In

December 2018 CTI Africa began initial operations on the Africa Development Initiative in

Buikwe, a comprehensive physical and digital mesh-ecosystem of products and services

designed as a holistic solution (the “Buikwe Project”). CTI Africa is planning the LIFE brand,

including many LIFE branded apps, and the LIFE Mobile device as the future brand for all digital

products within the ecosystem (the “LIFE Ecosystem”). CTI Africa has also begun development,

through partnerships, of physical infrastructure and products for the ecosystem to be pilot

tested in Buikwe. The initiative continues forward in partnership with numerous government

ministries, international organizations and private sector partners

An SDG Alignment Review and consultation was requested by CTI Africa for the purpose of

establishing a comprehensive preliminary baseline of alignment for all products and services

within the LIFE Ecosystem and the Buikwe Project to Goals and Targets of the 2030 Agenda.1

This review was conducted to assist CTI Africa in more specifically aligning LIFE and Buikwe

project physical and digital products and services to the SDGs. This report is a reflection of that

review and of the conclusions in the SDG Alignment Matrix relating to the alignment and

prospective alignment of products and services to the SDG Goals and Targets, and is intended

to assist CTI Africa in attaining maximum positive impact on goal attainment and to more

specifically feature potential engagement with specific targets to prospective partners.

CTI Africa has also requested a review of the correlation between the data collection

mechanisms planned as part of the LIFE Mobile Ecosystem and the SDG Indicator Framework,

which is used to measure progress on the SDG Targets, which is provided in a separate

document, the SDG Indicator Correlation Report – CTI Africa - April 2019.

Overview of Initial Observations Initial observations based on review of the scope of the LIFE Ecosystem and Buikwe Project,

and segregation of products and services based on focus areas and focus sub-areas as follows:

• 25 unique existing or planned products or services

o 10 developed by LIFE branded products

o 10 developed by CTI Africa

o 5 developed by partner operators within Buikwe Project or LIFE ecosystem

1 The 2030 Agenda document is declaration agreed to by all Member States of the United Nations in which the

Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are set forth.

https://sustainabledevelopment.un.org/content/documents/21252030%20Agenda%20for%20Sustainable%20Development%20web.pdf



• 9 unique opportunities for access to online products and services created by LIFE and

LIFE Mobile (opportunities for access are not analyzed deeply within the report but may

be useful in that it can highlight ways in which users may find benefit out of using the

devices and LIFE ecosystem of apps, and areas in which focus on partnerships may be

useful to CTI Africa and LIFE in expanding their SDG alignment areas). 14 are Physical,

11 are Digital.

• Combined, the 25 products or services and the 9 opportunities for access can be

classified into 9 major focus areas:

o Infrastructure. Both physical and digital.

▪ 4 Products or Services

▪ P/S – 4 by LIFE

▪ 1 Physical, 3 Digital

o Health. Medical services, emergency services and medical data.


▪ P/S – 4 by CTI Africa, 1 by LIFE, 1 by SAS Clinic


o Education. Primary, secondary, and continuing, physical and online.

▪ 2 Products or Services, 1 Opportunity for Access

▪ P/S – 1 by CTI Africa, 1 by TBD Partner


o Agriculture. Both physical and digital, from seed to sale to seed again.

▪ 4 Products or Services, 3 Opportunities for Access

▪ P/S – 1 by LIFE, 1 by CTI Africa, 2 by Aggric


o Energy. Solutions for energy production and sharing, economic development.


▪ P/S – 2 by CTI Africa

▪ 2 Physical

o Water. Clean water opportunities that also provide essential data.



▪ 2 Physical

o Work. Safe work, both create by LIFE and facilitated for entrepreneurs with small

business focus with big tech security.




o Financial Access. Financial access for individuals, small business, and banks, directed

at reaching communities with the most unbanked.


▪ P/S – 2 by LIFE, 1 by EcoBank

▪ 3 Digital

o Marketplace Access. Access for consumers and entrepreneurs to a new economy.

▪ 2 Opportunities for Access



o Transportation. Meshing both physical and digital through opportunities to access for

both consumers and entrepreneurs in the hardest to reach communities.

▪ 1 Opportunity for Access

Overview of SDG Alignment Conclusions Conclusions are based solely on Products and Services, and the Opportunities for Access are not

measured herein. Conclusions of alignment between SDG Targets and planned LIFE and Buikwe

Project products and services based on review of planning documents as follows:

• This analysis has concluded that there are 108 Unique Pairings of alignment (or

prospective alignment) between SDG Targets and products or services in the LIFE

ecosystem, or developed by CTI Africa or partners for the Buikwe Project.

• The aligned SDG Targets for the 108 Unique Pairings come from across 15 SDGs and

pair with 42 SDG Targets.

• The most commonly aligned SDG Targets were: 5.b (9); 1.4(8); 3.d (6); and 3.3 and

10.2 (5).

• The most commonly aligned SDG Goals were: SDG 3 (36); SDG 4 (11), SDG 5 (9), and

SDGs 1 and 10 (8 each).

• Most products or services are aligned with more than one SDG Target; Some SDG

Targets are aligned with more than one product or service.

• Most of the 108 Unique Pairings for products and services were found to have a direct

quality of alignment:

o 88 were found to have direct quality of alignment

o 20 were found to have indirect quality of alignment.

• Strength of alignment was found to be diverse, as follows:

o 48 unique pairings indicate strong strength of alignment.

o 37 unique pairings indicate moderate strength of alignment.

o 23 unique pairings indicate weak strength of alignment.

• Some products or services create alignment between, among, and across targets in

multiple SDGs, and increasing capacity for attainment through dynamic, comprehensive

infrastructure.

• This analysis has also found 44 Unique Pairings of alignment between SDG Targets and

opportunities for access to online products and services created by the LIFE Ecosystem

or LIFE Mobile Device.

This analysis also shows a high number of alignments based on the LIFE ecosystem as a whole,

indicated by the high number of moderate strength unique pairings which require other

products within the LIFE ecosystem. This is likely a result of the fact that the holistic set of

products and services is able to align with multiple interlinked targets by approaching the needs

of the Buikwe community not as independent symptoms, but by addressing core needs.

Following this Executive Summary, this report on the SDG Alignment Review for CTI Africa and

LIFE Mobile Products and Services in the Buikwe Project, will proceed as follows:

Section II. Key and Methodology will present the methodology used to make the

classification determinations herein.



Section III. Overview of CTI Africa, LIFE, and the Buikwe Project will present limited

overview of the project and products and services with links to additional information.

Section IV. Overview of Products and Services by Focus Area will present observations

on the general structure of the comprehensive ecosystem and break down the different

categories to be discussed.

Section V. SDG Alignment Review by Focus Area will present the conclusions of the SDG

Alignment review for each Product broken down into section by focus area. It will also

include separate subcategories for the opportunities for access.

Section VI. Conclusion and General Recommendations.



Key and Methodology Sustainable Development Goals

The SDGs as presented in the 2030 Agenda and the Targets.

Physical v. Digital

Physical products or services include those which have some which have some requisite

physical component, but may be otherwise connected or integrated to digital products, or have

digital components.

Digital products or services include those which have some requisite digital component, but may

otherwise store, utilize, or otherwise integrate with physical components or devices, or data

collected physically.

Quality of Alignment

Quality of the alignment is classified as either Direct or Indirect.

This factor measures whether the prospective product or service will have direct or indirect

alignment with the SDG Target, meaning whether the alignment of the product or service with

the indicator has an intended or unintended alignment.

Direct – alignment is intended and obvious result of the product or service

Indirect – alignment is unintended result of product or service.

Strength of Alignment

Strength of the alignment is classified as either Strong, Moderate or Weak.

This factor measures how likely the product or service, if developed, implemented, and

effectively used, would be to progress or advance Target attainment.

Strong – Product or Service has potential to independently advance target attainment as its

primary end without significant assistance or success of other factors.

Moderate – Product or Service has potential to advance target attainment in conjunction with

other factors.

Weak: Product/Service potential to support target attainment by other dominant factors. "

IHRL

This analysis includes a general reference to International Human Rights Law (IHRL) relevant to

each SDG Target with which a product or service as prospective alignment. Acronyms as

commonly used.



Overview of the CTI Africa, LIFE, and the Buikwe Project

The Buikwe Project

The Buikwe Project was launched on December 12, 2018 at 10am in the Buikwe District of

Uganda. The Buikwe Project is designed to deliver a holistic solution to the problems faced by

Buikwe Residents.2 Prior to launch of the Buikwe Project, data collection was conducted during

2018 on a number of metrics in over 1000 households, 95% of the households in the Buikwe

District.3 The Buikwe Project will bring a full suite of innovative services to a confined area in

Buikwe, comprised of 7 villages over 20 square miles encompassing 1258 households.4

CTI Africa

The Buikwe Project is being led by CTI Africa. From the CTI Africa Company Profile:

CTI Africa, whose parent company is a Delaware LLC, was duly registered under the laws

of Uganda on the 5th of October 2016. CTI Africa is the sole proprietor of Life Mobile and

other renewable energy solutions. Life Mobile is a complete and scalable ecosystem of

B2B and B2C financial technology, e-Health / telemedicine and e-farming solutions,

providing bespoke services in insurance, agency banking, mobile money, electronic

payments services, electronic health records, emergency response and smart farming and

early warning systems, among others, to promote total financial inclusion and help

catapult African citizens into the 21 Century. Our leading goal is to leverage technology

and champion financial innovations, which addresses one of the four pillars of the financial

inclusion agenda of the Government of Uganda, under its Vision 2040. With head offices

located in New York, the company operates under a duly registered entity in Uganda, with

offices located on plot 59, Lubowa Estate. With the strong support of credible partners

such as Makerere University, Ministry of Health, Ministry of Agriculture, Report Homeland

Security Ltd of Israel, among others, we are rolling out the flagship Life Mobile, a smart

phone assembled in Uganda and designed to be affordable to all and yet powerful enough

to deploy our end-to-end Life Apps.5

The vision of CTI Africa is to create a new digital infrastructure and bridge between the digital

and physical tools to propel African rural and urban communities into the 21st Century, through

a 600-million-person solution, at the click of a button, on a single device.6 They seek to provide

a holistic solution to economic and social challenges while creating opportunities to advance

United Nations (UN) Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) attainment across Africa and all

LDCs.7

2 Buikwe Project Launch handout, page 1. 3 CTI Africa Data Collection Results from Buikwe Project Preliminary Study PowerPoint. 4 Buikwe Project Health Care Initiative, CTI Africa, page 1. 5 CTI Africa Company Profile, 18-02-2019, Plot 59, Lubowa, Wakiso, Uganda, page 3. 6 CTI Africa Business Profile, page 3. 7 CTI Africa Business Profile, page 3.



Our prevailing objective is to engage with governments to provide local communities and

households with a proven, financially feasible template that empowers communities and

creates better standards of living. Our model is “Holistic and Working Now”. It is in

progress; it works and is fully integrated. Through it; • Household solutions are being

enhanced by community efforts • Community efforts are being amplified by public assists

• All three levels are augmented through strategic partnerships.8

CTI Africa argues that a holistic approach, such as through CTI African Development Initiative

with LIFE Mobile, is better than patchwork approaches that address individual basic needs,

because it offers a more conjoined approach which is more financially feasible for users and

providers, is easier to get more benefit from by local users, and is more effective at addressing

interlinked SDGs.

CTI Africa has experience working in Africa, including through a pilot smart-home smart-village

program which began testing in 2018 and continues now. CTI Africa also developed Uganda

Rescue in 2018, and conducted data collection in Buikwe in 2018. Operators of CTI Africa have

significant combined previous experience operating in Uganda. CTI Africa is the driving private

sector force behind the Buikwe Project, in conjunction with the Government of Uganda, and

includes in its long term planning an Africa Development Initiative and Rural Empowerment

Initiative, utilizing physical and digital infrastructure, such as LIFE and LIFE Mobile, to scale the

results of the Buikwe Project.9 Specifically, CTI Africa plans to scale the Buikwe Project first

across diverse locations in Uganda, then to nearby countries of Kenya, Rwanda, and Malawi,

and finally across sub-Saharan Africa.10

LIFE Brand and LIFE Ecosystem

The LIFE Brand, owned by CTI Africa, leads development all of the digital aspects of the Buikwe

Project and the greater African Development Initiative, including LIFE Mobile devices and

ecosystem, and digital LIFE products and services.

CTI Africa products and services are branded under the name “LIFE” and all digital

products and services are accessible through the LIFE Mobile device and ecosystem. This

array of solutions comes pre-packaged within the Life Mobile device; a low-cost smart

phone tailored for the mass market. High end users can enjoy our unique services by

downloading our App onto their devices of choice. The services include FinTech,

Telemedicine, Human Resource Productivity optimization, Agricultural Technology, Data

Safety and Data Analytics. Below is a snap shot of our catalogue.11

Initial Observations: Overview of Products and Services

by Focus Area

General Observations

This analysis has reviewed the Buikwe Project, CTI Africa, and LIFE branded products and

services and has identified 25 unique existing or prospective products or services within,

created by, or directly facilitated by, the LIFE Mobile ecosystem, CTI Africa, or other entity for

the Buikwe Project. This analysis has also identified 9 unique opportunities for access to online

products or services with SDG alignment created by the LIFE ecosystem and LIFE Mobile

Device.

These products or services can be classified into 9 major focus areas: Infrastructure, Health,

Education, Agriculture, Energy, Water, Work, Financial Access, Marketplace Access, and

Transportation. Within these the products and services can be further identified in 24

enumerated focus sub-areas.

Opportunities for Access

Other than just product and services, this analysis has identified 9 Opportunities for Access to

online products and services with SDG alignment either created by the LIFE ecosystem of apps

or the LIFE Mobile device or where the SDG alignment may be enhanced by features of the

LIFE ecosystem or profile. These are not as well defined, and as such have limited review.

An Example: The e-Banking solutions within the LIFE Mobile Ecosystem will be accessible

through an app developed by LIFE Mobile and Ecobank, which provide comprehensive banking

services through the LIFE Mobile phone, can also integrate with e-banking solutions of physical

bank branches. The e-Banking solutions will also integrate with other apps within the LIFE

Mobile Ecosystem to establish secure access for the user to other online platforms generally

open to the public for purposes of gaining Access to Online Credit, Loans, Microfinance,

and the like.

Observations of Distinguishing Categories and Characteristics

across all Focus Areas

Physical or Digital

Whether the product or service is Physical or Digital in its primary design. All Opportunities for

Access are Digital, and therefore will be left out of the dataset for the purposes of this report,

unless expressly stated otherwise.



Physical Digital

Physical products or services include those

which have some which have some requisite physical component, but may be otherwise connected or integrated to digital products,

or have digital components.

Digital products or services include those

which have some requisite digital component, but may otherwise store, utilize, or otherwise integrate with physical components or

devices, or data collected physically.

14 of the products or services are physical 11 of the products or services are digital

An Example: Solar Backpack Health Checks conducted by Uganda Rescue and CTI Africa is

primarily a Physical service because it requires a medical or nursing professional to physically

visit the user and take medical measurements, even though it results in the collection of data in

digital format. However, the data collected by Uganda Rescue is then automatically integrated

into the LIFE Health Platform app, which allows for compilation, and secure storage and

dissemination of the data, which is a primarily Digital product. This is true of the app because,

while it has data collected physically and can only be used on a smartphone which is a physical

device, the LIFE Health Platform app itself is a digital product that exists regardless of the

physical components.

Company or Provider & Partners / Stakeholders

Another characteristic which is important in advance planning for partnership phase is which

company or provider is responsible for the product or service and who potential stakeholders

are. Some may have more than one implementing company, Example: CTI Africa is building the

Uganda Rescue App, Control Center, and Service.

LIFE CTI Africa PARTNER

LIFE brand work and products and services, including LIFE

Mobile phone and others.

CTI Africa or ADI Partners who are incorporating their product or service into the

ecosystem or Buikwe Project

10 by LIFE 10 by CTI Africa 5 by Project Partners

In addition, the attached dataset shows additional potential secondary project partners for each

product or service.



Findings: SDG Target Alignment by Focus Area

General Findings

This analysis has concluded that there are 108 Unique Pairings of alignment (or prospective

alignment) between SDG Targets and products or services in the LIFE ecosystem, or developed

by CTI Africa or partners for the Buikwe Project.

The aligned SDG Targets for the 108 Unique Pairings come from across 15 SDGs and pair with

42 SDG Targets. The most commonly aligned SDG Targets were: 5.b (9); 1.4(8); 3.d (6); and

3.3 and 10.2 (5). The most commonly aligned SDG Goals were: SDG 3 (36); SDG 4 (11), SDG 5

(9), and SDGs 1 and 10 (8 each).

Most products or services are aligned with more than one SDG Target; Some SDG Targets are

aligned with more than one product or service. Most of the 108 Unique Pairings for products

and services were found to have a direct quality of alignment:

• 88 were found to have direct quality of alignment

• 20 were found to have indirect quality of alignment.

Strength of alignment was found to be diverse, as follows:

• 48 unique pairings indicate strong strength of alignment.

• 37 unique pairings indicate moderate strength of alignment.

• 23 unique pairings indicate weak strength of alignment.

Some products or services create alignment between, among, and across targets in multiple

SDGs, and increasing capacity for attainment through dynamic, comprehensive infrastructure.

This analysis has also found 44 Unique Pairings of alignment between SDG Targets and

opportunities for access to online products and services created by the LIFE Ecosystem or LIFE

Mobile Device.



Infrastructure Products and Services There are 4 products or services observed in the Infrastructure Focus Area with a total of 13

unique pairings with Targets under SDGs 1, 5, 9, 10, and 17. All 13 unique pairings were found

to be direct, and all were measurable for strength of alignment showing majority strong with

some support roles.

LIFE Health Platform and LIFE Health Wallet




Partners / Stakeholders: IBM (potential)

Description of Product or Service and Activities: The LIFE Health Platform is primarily a

mobile App with a corresponding web interface. It is an all-in-one virtual environment that

facilitates the collection, storage, analysis, retrieval and sharing of electronic bio-medical

records between and among patients, health practitioners, insurance providers and drug

suppliers. “At the back end, the system is linked with our bespoke Life Pay App to facilitate all

related medical and insurance billing requirements. All it takes is for both the service provider

and the consumer to have a Life Mobile account.”



The LHP is a stand-alone App that is intelligent enough to communicate with clip-on diagnostic devices such as EyeNetra (our eye testing kit that enables on-demand eye testing without the

need to visit an optician). The LHP is linked to our centralized and secure data repository (data lake) which makes the capture, storage, analysis and retrieval of medical records, diagnosis, messaging and bill payments a breeze. The services areas include, among others; • Vaccination

management • Medical history management • Vital signs and diagnosis • Eye, Nose and

Throat (ENT) care.

The LIFE Health Wallet is a miniature version of the LHP, designed to avail a quick reference to

the most basic of a patient’s vital signs, on the go. This comes in handy, especially in cases

where a “walk-in” patient happens to visit a health facility that is not a member of Life Mobile,

which in this case lacks a detailed medical history of the patient.

Description of Product or Service and Activities:

We have partnered with the Ministry of Agriculture, Animal Husbandry and Fisheries

(MAAIF) to roll out a mobile App that links the ministry with the farming communities across

the country. The major functionality will be to provide two-way communication in real time,

between those farmers that own a Life Mobile hand-set and agricultural ministry extension

workers. This will be closely linked with Life Rescue Uganda, primarily because the core

service entails an early warning system that allows farmers country wide to report (through

text, voice, image or video feed) any out-breaks of uncommon livestock, poultry and crop

pests or diseases, to allow for early intervention and avert epidemics or effect quarantine.26

At field level, CTI Africa is leading the way in helping to transform Uganda’s agriculture,

from traditional subsistence farming characterized by poor yields and non-commercial

output, to modern precision agronomy. We have introduced: precision farming by way

of solar-powered drip irrigation that incorporates slow-releasing fertilizer application;

modern farm acreage measurement of acreage to facilitate yield estimates and draft

growing plans; trained extension workers who help the farmer to carry out crop yield

projections by flower count; soil fertility management (and amendment by incorporating

farm yard manure and compost); traceability management; in order to comply with

GAPs and export standards, for entry into international markets; organizing farmers into a cooperative, bulking and facilitating collective marketing.27

“Contracting Farming” model for all farmers to greatly improve their agriculture income. First,

CTI Africa sends its team of agronomist to conduct a soil test on the ground to optimize what

crops are grown on that field. Next, the land is surveyed for the ideal water source for

irrigation. Then, a solar powered pump is installed to deliver water from the source to the field.

The water is delivered to ground using “drip irrigation,” meaning that farmers can greatly

decrease the amount of water they use on farming while increasing its effectiveness. Farmers



will be guided through the farming process through the Life Grow App and periodical visits from

CTI Africa’s agronomists. A call center will also be avoidable to answer any farmer questions.”28

LIFE Work-Time

Focus Sub-Area: Business tools




Description of Product or Service and Activities: The objective of the LIFEWork-time app

is to ensure that employees report to work and perform their duties. The app provides the

following functionality: 1) Signing in ("clocking in") and out of the workplace. At the time of sign

in, the GPS location of the employee is captured, then the employee is required to authenticate

using a fingerprint or capture a photo of themselves if the phone does not have a fingerprint

scanner. 2) If the employee moves a distance of more than 100 meters from a location of work,

the location is marked and flagged. A sneaky employee would have to literary leave his /her

phone at the work place if they are to abandon their duty stations.

LIFE Pay App

Focus Sub-Area: Banking



Partners / Stakeholders: Ecobank

Description of Product or Service and Activities: The LIFE Pay is not just another mobile

wallet looking to join the crowd. Life Pay is like a FinTech “neutral ground”. We know that

several mobile money providers already serve the market. However, these are disjointed,

requiring parallel transactions at any given time, depending on which network provider’s

account is being used. This is tedious and confusing given the protracted USSD menus, the

need to remember PIN codes and related details. This grind is eliminated with the Life Pay

account since money can be moved by our customer from their various mobile money wallets

into one convenient and highly intuitive wallet (Life Pay). What’s more, transactions attract a

near-zero charge for all customers within the Life Mobile ecosystem. We are talking everything

from bill payments and utilities, mobile money transfers and banking, insurance, among others.

Direct Moderate CEDAW 13, 14

The LIFE Pay App can strengthen the capacity of domestic financial institutions to

encourage and expand access to banking, insurance and financial services for all in

conjunction with actions by the financial institutions by both incentivizing expansion

through competition and by providing technological capacity of financial institutions to

expand. First, the LIFE Pay App directly competes with cash, credit card companies, and

banking institutions in providing electronic payment options and digital options for

financial transfers, incentivizing the financial institutions to compete with the new tech.

Second, many centralized and decentralized digital wallet and payment applications allow

for centralized integration, both through API integration for physical banking and through

other forms of streamlining.



The LIFE Pay App can increase the access of small-scale industrial and other enterprises,

in particular in developing countries, to financial services by providing an online, secure

wallet for use in domestic and cross border payments, which integrates with marketplace

checkout and invoice payment software for use in collecting payments from clients and

customers.
