HR&S RISE Support Center Kenya

Our main challenge is to identify accountable loan-takers. We need role-models. If the team of operations also runs businesses, but benefit from loans, we have role-models who both see the challenges with being a loan-giver as well as a managing business finances.

HR&S Sweden establishes HR&S Local Branches in Sub-Sahara African countries. The Branches represents HR&S Sweden in the country, and develop relations with Institution managements, local authorities and other relevant stakeholders.

The Branches also manage RISE Centres, which provide support to local social entrepreneurs, researchers and innovators to offer their products and services to the local community.

We reflect, create, implement and learn.
This is the HR&S continuous iterative cycle.

HR&S research management workshops bring together scientific researchers, scientific institution management, users of scientific findings, innovators, and social entrepreneurs from Sub-Sahara Africa for lectures and discussions with the aim of providing opportunities for them to bring positive change and development. HR&S offers a transformational training package designed to inspire scientific stakeholders to become innovative change-makers. Scientific researchers are expected to develop creative capacity and acquire necessary skills to do research and implement research findings.

Global development stakeholders must come from a platform where we understand that we are all the same.

HR&S is an expert in handling such. HR&S is fast and flexible, we learn by mistake and we make informed decisions. This is not a straight path, because HR&S works with CHANGE, but every year and in every programme we make progress, sometimes small, sometimes big.

HR&S wants development institutions to be so impressed by what we are doing that they always want to collaborate with us. We do reach the underserved population and we do implement sustainable livelihood improvements.

HR&S offers to be a solid platform for bringing stakeholders together in fruitful discussions. HR&S bridges knowledge sharing gaps and communication challenges.
One such meeting platform between key stakeholders is our workshops series. The workshop series address research management, laboratory management, social enterprising and development programme management.

We offer:

Seminars, workshops & coaching addressing our PPs and AAs to development institutions

Workshops and coaching on research and laboratory management to academic institutions

Investment capital loans, local coaching, expert advice, and other products and services to local social entrepreneurs
