In Afghanistan’s fragile economic landscape, small and medium enterprises (SMEs) face obstacles—from limited access to finance and unstable market conditions to weak infrastructure, access to markets, formalizing operations, and standard operating procedures-SOPs. At Parun, we recognize these realities and place SME development at the core of our work. We collaborate directly with Afghan entrepreneurs, existing and newly established businesses —many operating in underserved or high-risk areas—to help them overcome structural barriers, formalize their businesses, and build the skills they need to grow.
