The legal entity UNITA GEIE (UNITA European Economic Interest Grouping) is an instrument that allows the UNITA alliance to have its own legal personality, meaning it can acquire economic rights and assume obligations independently. For instance, it can sign contracts, receive funding, manage resources, and take on responsibilities on behalf of the Alliance. The UNITA EEIG was registered at the Turin Chamber of Commerce on 25 January 2023.
