F&S trains main actors in the mango value chain in Guinea

From 20 to 24 June, Fair & Sustainable Consulting (F&S) gave a training in Kindia (Guinea) for all companies and organizations that are involved in the mango value chain. F&S was invited by the Belgian Development Agency (ENABEL) to give this training. The training is part of their Agricultural Entrepreneurship program,  that aims to improve the competitiveness of entrepreneurs in the mango sector in an inclusive and sustainable way.

During the training, main actors involved in the mango sector were trained to gain a common comprehension of ways to analyse and develop the mango sector. The thirty training participants were divided into three sub-groups who all focused on another market: exports of fresh mango to neighbouring countries, exports of fresh mango to the EU, and dried mango for the domestic market.

The three groups mapped and analysed their value chain, defined a vision for development of their chain, and identified priority actions to be implemented. At the end of the week, each group made an action plan with sustainable solution for the development of the sector.

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.

A winning proposal needs a convincing budget

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.
