EOI APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS AND INFORMATION ON THE
2016-2017 RADP-E PARTNERSHIP
GRANTS PROGRAM
Overview of the Partnership Grants Program
The RADP-E project provides in-kind grants to eligible Afghan agricultural businesses. These grants include
goods and services, technical assistance, training and promotional activities provided to enterprises involved in
agricultural input supply, agro-processing and agro-production. Eligible businesses must be involved in the
DAIRY, POULTRY, TOMATO and/or APRICOT Value Chains as a seller of goods and services or as a
purchaser of raw materials in the RADP-E coverage areas of Kabul, Kapisa, Laghman, Logar, Nangarhar,
Wardak, Ghazni and Parwan.
Assistance to agricultural input suppliers is to improve business management and marketing capabilities, and
the ability to provide farmers with improved technologies and training in good farming practices. Assistance to
agro-processors is to improve their ability to buy quality materials from farmers and sell processed products that
can compete successfully in Afghan or international markets. Assistance to agro-producers is to increase
production of quality raw materials that meet market demands through the introduction, adaption and use of
activities that improve production and quality.
Agro-enterprises will be selected based upon Innovation (how is the activity different from just asking for donor
assistance), Shared Risk (RADP-E target is a minimum of 50% of grant activity covered by the recipient) and
Broad Based Value Chain Impact (ability of the activity to benefit more than just the grant recipient).
Application Process
Grant awards will be done through a two-phase process. To be shortlisted for consideration, you must fill out and
submit the attached Expression of Interest. Shortlisted applicants will be asked to fill out a full application. Being
shortlisted after submission of an Expression of Interest does not guarantee that you will receive a grant.
Questions on the Expression of Interest can be sent to [email protected]
