Harakat-Afghanistan Investment Climate Facility Organization

Harakat is an independent, not-for-profit, Afghan-managed organisation that aims to improve Afghanistan’s business environment. We provide grant funds to the private sector, government and civil society to implement activities to reduce or remove barriers that currently make it difficult to do business in Afghanistan.

Project Background

The International Finance Corporation (IFC – World Bank) and Harakat-AICFO have collaborated for a new initiative titled “For the Private Sector by the Private Sector – Advocacy Forum” to empower and support the Afghan private sector. The project aims to strengthen the existing coordination mechanisms and help prioritize major issues faced by the Afghan private sector. The forum will also support the private sector to identify challenges and promote reforms and solutions through engagement with various government departments as well as the other national and international private sector organizations including International Development Agencies (IDAs).
