Dear Applicant
AMAD strives to provide critical assistance to small and medium enterprises (SMEs) in Afghanistan to improve their productivity and competitiveness especially in the context of problems caused by the COVID Pandemic, and to enhance their ability to access formal finance.
AMAD is financed by Kreditanstalt für Wiederaufbau (KFW), the German State Development Bank, under the Corona Emergency Relief Program (CERG). Under this program, AMAD will support SMEs with fixed and working capital needed for COVID-19-related adaptation.
The matching grants are focused on projects supporting private businesses. As a grant precondition, grantees must provide a matching contribution of 40% of the project value. The matching contribution can be provided from own sources or through a bank loan.
Matching Grants will be distributed via AMAD’s offices in Kabul. All grants will be awarded and executed in accordance with applicable regulations, Afghan laws and AMAD program’s policies and procedures.
