Request For Concern Worldwide- Afghanistan


Request For Request for Consortium Branding for the AWARE Programme

Concern Worldwide is leading a consortium with Save the Children and New Way Social and Development Organization for a European Commission-funded project: Advancing Women-led Agro Businesses to Reach Economic Empowerment (AWARE). The project will be implemented in five provinces of Northern Afghanistan―Badakhshan, Takhar, Kunduz, Jawzjan, and Balkh―over a 48-month period beginning in April 2021.  AWARE aims to support the development or expansion of sustainable women-led agro businesses and to foster an enabling environment for women’s economic empowerment in urban and rural areas by jointly addressing economic and behavioral barriers.  The project primarily supports unemployed/underemployed women and existing women-led micro and small agro businesses with potential for sustainable scale-up. This involves the provision of quality business and agro-asset support as well as competitive conditional cash grants, alongside a comprehensive package of carefully phased trainings ranging from gender and life skills to in-depth agriculture and business courses.
