ChewingRice and Rise Sustainability have an ongoing partnership that brings together complementary expertise to deliver meaningful change. Recently, we worked together on behalf of Proparco to support NETIS, a pan-African telecommunications company, in advancing its gender equality goals.
The wider project included multiple actions to empower female staff and strengthen recruitment, while our role focused on creating a strategy for a community-building initiative for women inside Netis. This initiative was designed to provide a supportive network within the organisation and to contribute to longer-term gender inclusion.
ChewingRice delivered a bilingual strategy document (English and French) and facilitated a train-the-trainer workshop, ensuring Netis staff were equipped to roll out and sustain the initiative internally.
This collaboration with Rise Sustainability reflects a shared commitment to practical, scalable approaches to gender equality — combining strategic design with local ownership to create lasting impact.
