Partnership Opportunities: Fair Trade & Sustainability

We welcome collaborations that share our vision of inclusive growth, sustainable livelihoods, and climate-resilient futures.

Partnerships are at the heart of everything SSA does, bringing together artisans, producer groups, development partners, Fair Trade networks, academic institutions, and private sector organizations.

45 Years of Collaborative Impact

SSA has built an ecosystem for creating lasting impact over the past 45 years.

Five Partnership Models: Programs to Advocacy

Document case studies, pilot innovative approaches, share knowledge globally, and collaborate on research with academic institutions/think tanks.

Partner through Fair Trade sourcing and ethical business collaborations with Sasha Association for Craft Producers (SASHA). Develop co-branded product lines, eco-conscious collections, or market access strategies. Strengthen transparent, inclusive supply chains.

Design CSR initiatives aligned with corporate mandates. Implement targeted interventions in livelihoods, skills, climate adaptation, and cultural heritage.

Join SSA in amplifying the voice of artisans and producers on Fair Trade, climate action, and ethical consumption. Partner in campaigns, global forums, and multi-stakeholder initiatives.
