Make gender and nutrition part of how your institution works

A diagnostic for African agricultural institutions

Tanager is implementing the Impacting Gender and Nutrition through Innovative Technical Exchange in Agriculture Plus (IGNITE+), a technical assistance program that supports African agricultural institutions to integrate gender and nutrition into their business practices and agricultural interventions.

Gender inequality and malnutrition hold back Africa's food systems

Tanager, with more than 200 staff across 5 countries, works to change that. IGNITE+ is one of its projects.

The challenge

Why institutions need support

Gender inequality limits who can farm, earn and decide. Malnutrition limits how households eat and grow. Many agricultural institutions want to address both but lack practical tools and technical guidance.

What IGNITE+ does

Technical assistance that fits your institution

The IGNITE+ project is a five-year technical assistance project implemented by Tanager to strengthen African institutions' ability to integrate gender and nutrition into their way of doing business and their agriculture interventions. It extends the IGNITE project, which Tanager implemented from 2018 to 2024.
