In order to select the priority districts where AFP Programme initiatives are being launched, we have established a set of 10 criteria to guide our selection and phasing in of programme interventions. These include:
- Level of Economic Activity
- Value Chains of Promise
- Embedded footprint of Financial Institutions
- Evidence of defined business opportunities
- Level of enthusiasm within the community
- Scaling up potential with other programmes
- Banks, Cooperatives, FI, partnership possibilities for increased outreach/penetration
- Proximity to other VDCs with defined AFP Intervention
- Gender Equality and Social Inclusion (GESI) mainstreaming possibilities
- Likelihood of Quick Wins
