Expanding RISE team

New team members join RISE Egypt to support the launch and pilot of LEEP for Collaborative Impact. HSBC joins as a corporate partner.

DESIGN TESTING AND VALIDATION

We gear up to validate the programming and architecture of LEEP and test assumptions from the early design phase. Field visits and focus groups with social entrepreneurs in different governorates are conducted in recognition that needs outside of Cairo may vary qualitatively and insights from these innovators are thus crucial to the final design of LEEP.

RISE SHARES BEST PRACTICES GLOBALLY

The RISE team is invited to present our work developing LEEP for Collaborative Impact at the Digital Social Innovation (DSI) for European Union (EU) conference in Warsaw, Poland as well as a global data summit entitled ‘Codata: Towards Next-Generation Data Driven Science’ in Beijing, China.

BUILDING A FOUNDATION

RISE team members go on a retreat organized by ElRehla (The Journey), which provides a chance for social innovation ecosystem players to connect, reflect and learn from one another. Meanwhile, we roll up our sleeves to build a master list of social innovators across Egypt as part of the inception of LEEP.
