Executive summary
Current state
The World Bank's Afghanistan Private Sector Resilience Project creates a $15 million structural gap between ACGF's deep local MSME network and UNOPS's global compliance expertise, with ACGF unable to directly access Component 2 value chain resilience funds despite co-chairing project governance.
Market catalyst
UNOPS will create complex English-only grant application templates that Afghan MSMEs (many Dari/Pashto speakers with limited English) cannot navigate, creating a language and comprehension barrier to accessing the $15M fund.
