4 Section I Program Description Promote: WIE is a USAID-funded program that partners with Afghan women to increase their participation in the economy by securing employment or advancing in their careers, and to increase revenues of women-owned businesses, or businesses that employ women as 30% or more of their staff. In order to achieve this goal, WIE relies on two components: Private Sector Development (PSD) and Workforce Development (WFD). The PSD component is issuing this Request for Applications (RFA) to invite eligible businesses (as defined in Section III) that could benefit from business and technical services assistance on a cost-sharing basis. WIE will fund up to 70% of the total cost of such services, to a maximum of AFN 400,000; on the condition the business pays the remaining cost. The grant is only available to businesses that have already participated in another WIE PSD activity. Applicants must apply through and be recommended by their regional WIE office. Many businesses are currently run traditionally, operating below full capacity, have inefficient operations or production systems, don t understand their costs, and the goods or services they produce are not of sufficient quality to be competitive in the marketplace. WIE is currently offering Business Services Mini Grants to eligible businesses in order to assist them to overcome these and other major barriers to growth and profitability. WIE has no pre-defined set of services that clients can access via this grant; instead they are to be demand-driven and specific to the requirements of beneficiary businesses. Businesses must request specific services and demonstrate how they will assist the business in becoming more competitive and profitable. The following list represents some of the services that may be funded through mini grants; however, this list is not comprehensive, and businesses may request services not listed below. Development of systems to manage accounting, inventory, sales, etc.; Marketing, sales and promotional materials development (including logos and branding) printing costs for these materials cannot be funded by WIE, but may be considered a grantee contribution; New product/service development; Business legal services; Financial and taxation consultation; Practical training for employee technical skills development; Machinery setup, installation, or development of manuals for machinery or production processes
5 On an exception basis the mini grants may be used to fund equipment, but the financial analysis and documentation of existing and new production processes and capacity on these requests is significantly more comprehensive to that of services requests. Additional requirements are detailed in the application instructions. NOTE: Only businesses presently participating in WIE PSD activities or who have participated are eligible. Priority will be given to those participating in the MBA Corps, graduating from business incubators, or actively engaged in market access initiatives. DAI/WIE grant awards are made under the authority of the U.S. Foreign Affairs Act and USAID s Advanced Directive System (ADS) , Grants Under Contract. The awards will be subject to 2 CFR 700 and 2 CFR 200 Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards. Specific agreement provisions, by grant type, are provided in Annex I. Funding Limitations The ceiling for each Business Services Grant will be AFN 400,000. WIE will assess applications for Business Services Grants on a case-by-case basis, with emphasis on the potential of the requested service(s) to significantly impact business growth and profitability, and the ratio of requested funding to overall investment in the business. Applications for grants that exceed the AFN 400,000 ceiling may be submitted, but they must meet the 70%/30% ratio and require a waiver from the Chief of Party (COP) in order to qualify for funding. Use of Business Services Grants Business Services Grants shall be utilized only for provision of technical and business services to businesses meeting the eligibility requirements listed in Section III. Eligible businesses in need of the types of assistance specified above, or in need of similar technical or business process related services, are encouraged to apply for assistance under the Business Services Grant Program. Businesses may receive up to three (3) grant awards for various services, which shall be implemented consecutively, upon approval of the COP. WIE will fully assess each business request for services to determine if the services requested are appropriate and have the potential to impact revenue growth and profitability. Section II Award Information Subject to the availability of funds, DAI anticipates awarding grants to one or more businesses, up to a value of AFN 400,000 per grant application. DAI/WIE reserves the right to fund any or none of the applications submitted.the final award amount will be dependent on grant activities and cost discussions and, with Chief of Party approval, may be higher. Multiple awards may be made to the same organization at the discretion of DAI/WIE. No more than three (3) grants will be awarded to any one business under the Business Services Grant Program.
6 Please see Annex I for a description of the applicable grant type and applicable provisions. Section III Eligibility Information This RFA is issued as a public notice to ensure that all interested and qualified businesses have a fair opportunity to submit applications for funding. Eligibility requirements include the following: Must be registered in the WIE Businesses Directory and have participated in a WIE PSD activity; and must be registered as a business with the Government of Afghanistan and hold all government authorities required to function in their sector and type of business; and must be women-owned or women must make up at least 30% of their staff. Grant recipients must also be able to demonstrate their potential for revenue growth as a result of the grant investment. WIE has no sector specific requirements subject to the funding restrictions identified in Section IV(C). Upon approval of the COP, businesses may receive up to three (3) grant awards under this RFA for various services, which shall be implemented consecutively. Grant applicants must demonstrate their commitment toward the proposed project by sharing in the cost of the proposed grant activity. In addition to demonstrating commitment, cost sharing leverages additional resources toward achieving WIE s objectives and gives grant recipients a stake in the outcome of the activity. WIE will fund up to a maximum of 70% of the total cost of services, up to AFN 400,00, with the balance paid by applicant businesses.
