Description

The U.S. Embassy Kabul Public Affairs Section (PAS) of the U.S. Department of State is pleased to announce funding is available for programs of various scale to encourage collaboration between existing Afghan businesses with similar market positions. This funding opportunity is to supportive collaborative efforts to bring existing small-scale women-owned and/or majority women-employing businesses together under cooperative umbrellas. Funds can provide support for training, product design, marketing, industry networking, central business advocacy support, and/or virtual and physical retail space for domestic and/or overseas markets. More than one project can be funded, depending on the scale, but all proposals should demonstrate how they plan to select beneficiaries. Projects that benefit a single business will not be considered.
