- Sector
- ACGF's microfinance clients needing growth capital beyond regulatory limits
- Location

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
Successful MSMEs in ACGF's portfolio hit microfinance regulatory caps just as they need growth capital. Component 2 matching grants (part of $15M fund) can be stacked with microfinance loans, but ACGF lacks structured product to facilitate this stacking.
