Interested in superfood Moringa or gourmand food Baie Rose (pink peppercorn) from Madagascar? F&S researched the potential and challenges of production, processing and export of Moringa and Baie Rose in Ambilobe district, Madagascar for GIZ. Too Many Words made two beautiful infographics that capture the main results of the research.

Background

This research is part of the framework of the Environmental Management Support Program (PAGE) and in particular the AFAFI-North AF project, implemented by GIZ and jointly funded by BMZ and the European Union. PAGE aims at improving the conditions for the protection and sustainable use of natural resources in Madagascar. The AFAFI-Nord-AF project supports, among others, the development of six natural resource value chains in the DIANA region and in the Ambilobe district. Moringa and Baie rose are two of the value chains to be developed.

In today’s development cooperation landscape, resources are under pressure. Donor budgets are tightening, and competition for funding is sharper than ever.

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.
