Fair & Sustainable Ethiopia plays a key role as the Local Service Provider (LSP) for IGNITE+ implementation in Ethiopia, leading partnership management and delivering technical assistance services to selected agricultural institutions. We therefore encourage you to partner with the F&S–IGNITE+ project and benefit from systemic growth and strengthened staff capacity in gender integration and NSA promotion. If you believe that partnering with the IGNITE+ project aligns with your mission and organizational goals in advancing gender and nutrition agendas, please contact us.

Since 2021, Fair and Sustainable (F&S) has partnered with Tanager as its Local Service Provider (LSP) in Ethiopia under the Impacting Gender and Nutrition through Innovative Technical Exchange in Agriculture (IGNITE) project (2018-2024). With the launch of IGNITE+ (2024-2029) which is an extension of the IGNITE project, F&S continues to scale locally led technical assistance for gender and nutrition integration, strengthening institutional capacity and ensuring sustainable delivery beyond the project life.

In today’s development cooperation landscape, resources are under pressure. Donor budgets are tightening, and competition for funding is sharper than ever. That means that a strong proposal needs more than a compelling story — it also needs a budget that inspires confidence: accurate, realistic, transparent, and fully aligned with donor requirements. Yet, we notice that in the process many organisations face a familiar challenge: with deadlines approaching the technical teams focus on the narrative, the result chain and the negotiations with project partners. Last minute changes are pushed towards the under capacitated financial staff to be included in the budget. The result? Stress, inefficiencies, errors, or worse: missed opportunities or rejected proposals. That’s where we can help.
