We provide objective, transparent and evidence-based ICT policy and regulatory advice. Our clients include regulators, government agencies, telecom operators and international organisations.

With a strong focus on due diligence and sustainable development, RIS has emerged as a trusted partner for governments and organisations seeking to bridge the digital divide and provide broadband connectivity to geographically isolated and disadvantaged areas.

At RIS, we recognise the critical role that fiber optic backbone, middle-mile, and last-mile broadband infrastructure play in enabling socio-economic growth, empowering communities, and fostering inclusive development. With our unwavering commitment to excellence, we have successfully undertaken numerous connectivity projects worldwide, with a specific emphasis on the African continent.
