About Company
About DAI/Afghanistan Value Chains Program (AVCP): Afghanistan Value Chains Program (AVCP), a USAID-funded program implemented by DAI Global, LLC (DAI), supports the expansion of sustainable agriculture-led economic growth across Afghanistan.

The growth of the anchor firms promotes the efficiency, profitability, and strengthening of the value chains with a direct and positive impact on rural economies, households, and livelihoods. The AVCP focuses its interventions on key value chain leverage points, such as input suppliers or traders linked to large wholesalers, processors, and farmer associations. In doing so, AVCP will accomplish the following fundamental sub-purposes: Sub-Purpose 1: Increased Productivity and Stability of Value Chains Sub-Purpose 2: Improved Commercial Viability and Operational Efficiency of Agribusinesses Sub-Purpose 3: Engage Afghan Women in Agriculture Sub-Purpose 4: Climate Change Mitigation and Resiliency Strengthened.
