Supporting Entrepreneurship in Afghanistan - 3243011
The INTERNATIONAL FINANCE CORPORATION (IFC) in Afghanistan from Asian region had released this tender for Tenders are invited for Supporting Entrepreneurship in Afghanistan Since the change in regime on August 15; 2021 Afghanistan's private sector has faced significant challenges due to the turbulent and uncertain landscape. The economic situation in the country has been uncertain; as international aid and investment have significantly reduced. This has left many businesses struggling to access the necessary funding and financing. It is particularly difficult for entrepreneurs and start-ups due to the lack of support services; financing; and the enabling environment. Venture capital funding is almost nonexistent in Afghanistan and commercial banks are not interested in lending to riskier SMEs let alone start-ups. Reduced capacities and access to financing are further exacerbated by inflation; limited access to markets; and reduced demand for products and services. While Afghanistan and the Afghan people need to sustain the current jobs and create new ones; entrepreneurs; startups; and MSMEs generally do not receive enough technical and financial support. Most of these businesses hold the potential to turn into major employers in their own localities and; in some cases; nationwide. IFC seeks to improve the startup ecosystem by improving business conditions to build a conducive environment. IFC could further support these businesses by providing training; and coaching; convening private investment through seed-stage funding mechanisms; and supporting incubators and accelerators. In this assignment; IFC seeks a firm to support providing services for entrepreneurs; startups; and the overall ecosystem. The firm will also conduct an assessment of the entrepreneur/start-up ecosystem with a focus on i) entrepreneurs and businesses; support systems; and training services available; ii) seed stage funding mechanisms; venture investors and sources of financing; and iii) regulatory environment (laws; policies and procedures). Following the assessment; the firm and IFC should establish an incubator in Kabul to support entrepreneurship by providing office facilities and support; advisory services on business operations and strategy and to assist in improving access to finance. The assignment will provide special attention to innovative entrepreneurs and digital-enabled start-ups. Unlike subsistence entrepreneurs who are primarily concerned about survival and are less likely to grow or create new jobs; transformational entrepreneurs strive for growth and provide relatively secure employment opportunities for others. They catalyze innovation; job creation; productivity; and competitiveness. with tender notice no. 0002002295 published on 19 Jun 2023. The tender expired on 26 Jun 2023.
