Closing the Gender Gap to Unleash Africa’s Full Scientific and Innovative Potential
Focus

You have a generation of brilliant, curious young women, yet systemic barriers, stereotypes, and unsupportive environments cause too many to opt out of science pathways. Why let gender gaps in participation and achievement limit your nation’s talent pool and innovative capacity? With the right strategic partner, you can create inclusive ecosystems where girls not only enter STEM fields but excel and lead. At RIFI, we understand the multifaceted challenge of transforming attitudes, teaching practices, and opportunities to make science truly for all. Let us help you implement targeted, evidence-based programmes that inspire girls to see themselves as scientists, engineers, and problem-solvers.

Your dedicated gender equity partner, building from the classroom up

RIFI offers a dual approach: empowering girls directly while transforming the learning environment around them. Your schools will be supported by gender-responsive pedagogy training, female role model networks, and safe-space protocols.

Your dedicated RIFI Gender Equity Facilitator will conduct school climate assessments, co-design intervention strategies with female students, and train your staff. They ensure your institution has the policies, teaching methods, and mentorship structures to actively support and encourage girls in science.

Cultivating female talent at scale, from primary school to career

How many future innovations are lost when a girl is told science is “not for her”? How does a nation’s development trajectory change when its women fully participate in the STEM economy? RIFI helps you dismantle the barriers—both visible and invisible—that hold girls back.

Our comprehensive programmes, from hands-on science clubs for girls to teacher sensitivity training, can be scaled across regions. We foster inclusion the right way, by changing narratives, building confidence, and providing clear pathways so that girls’ participation in STEM becomes the expected norm, not the exception.
