Die Effektivität wird gesichert, da das Vorhaben insbesondere am MEST als Träger und Partner der Maßnahme ansetzt.
There are many entries for ansetzen, but none that apply here from what I understand.

Note from asker:
| Just a note: the project can focus on a ministry because it would be helping the ministry become more efficient. But it seems you have the most popular answer anyway, so thanks for chiming in! |

Yes, ansetzen covers a wide range. Given the lack of context, I like this solution because it's also adaptable to many scenarios..

We knew the project had MEST’s backing as soon as we saw “AS sponsor and partner”. We didn't need ‘ansetzen’ to point that out as it was implied before we even got to the verb. Besides, it would have been overkill to use a complex verb like 'ansetzen' to illustrate such a simple fact, IMO. Here’s how I would translate the sentence based on the context that has emerged:
"Especially with the project being geared towards MEST as sponsor and partner of the measure, effectiveness is ensured."

Discussion
That'd be something different, I suppose.
Tried to google MEST, but with limited success.
