This initiative aims to co-fund equity or quasi-equity investments in potential high-growth Small and Medium-sized Businesses (SMEs) across Pakistan. USAID intends to invest between $15-20 million per investment fund, requiring a minimum dollar-for-dollar match from partners, with larger matches viewed favorably. Prospective partners must provide evidence of investment commitments. The investment window spans five years, with an anticipated five-year holding period before liquidation. Compensation for fund management services will be market-based and subject to negotiation. This procurement involves a multi-tiered process, beginning with concept papers, followed by full applications from the highest-evaluated initial submissions.
