The companies span a range of industries, from food manufacturing and agribusiness, clothing and furnishings production, construction material production, metal fabrication, to carpentry, digital printing, and geoscience services.
IESC began implementing the ABADE Program in 2012. To date, the program has developed investment partnerships with more than 280 Afghan small and medium-sized enterprises, helping them reduce risks involved with business expansion, sustain growth, and create new jobs.
