DAI, through the United States Agency for International Development (USAID), is seeking concept papers first, and then full applications from prospective partners to implement activities that will enhance the competitiveness of Afghan export-oriented businesses and create sustainable economic growth in targeted value chains. These activities will contribute to expanding export revenue and/or to job creation/livelihoods. The geographic focus under consideration is Afghanistan, nation-wide. DAI on behalf of USAID anticipates awarding approximately 40 grants to fund successful applications submitted in response to this APS. Competition for this APS will be open for one year. Concept Papers will be received and reviewed on a rolling basis until ACEBA grant funds are fully obligated. The length of the awards will typically be up to one (1) year. The total amount of funding currently available for this APS is approximately USD 5 million. DAI may choose to fully fund or incrementally fund the selected application(s).
