About the Matching Grant Programme

The Matching Grant is a key component of the RISE Balochistan – Enterprise Development initiative, a flagship programme of the Government of Balochistan aimed at promoting inclusive economic growth, poverty reduction, and sustainable livelihoods in underserved districts.

The programme is designed to address critical development challenges in Balochistan, including persistent poverty, unemployment, economic exclusion, and limited access to financial and market opportunities, particularly for youth, women, and marginalised communities.

Under this initiative, targeted financial and technical support is provided to Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) through matching grants, enabling them to expand operations, improve productivity, and create sustainable employment opportunities.

The Matching Grant Programme specifically aims to:

• Promote enterprise growth and job creation by supporting businesses with high potential for expansion and employment generation
• Enhance economic resilience by strengthening local value chains and improving market linkages
• Facilitate adoption of modern technologies and innovative practices to increase efficiency and competitiveness
• Support inclusive economic participation, with a focus on women, youth, and vulnerable groups
• Encourage private sector development as a driver of sustainable local economic growth

The Matching Grant Programme is implemented within a broader poverty graduation and economic resilience framework, ensuring that enterprise support contributes not only to business growth but also to long-term socio-economic empowerment and poverty reduction in the target districts.
