The United Nations Office for Project Services (UNOPS) invites proposals for the Private Sector Resilience Project (Sub-Component 2.1(a)) to support Afghanistan's apple, grape, pomegranate, and saffron value chains, aiming to foster market development, value addition, and job creation amid economic and humanitarian challenges. Operating nationwide, the 30-month program targets high-value, drought-tolerant crops to generate strong water-use returns, enhance competitiveness, and boost net sales and employment—with a particular focus on empowering women. Eligible activities include mobilizing value chain groups, delivering targeted technical assistance and training, administering matching grants ranging from USD 100,000 to USD 750,000 to finance approximately 50 percent of approved initiatives, and conducting rigorous implementation monitoring. A total funding pool of USD 3,450,000 is available under this call.
