Accelerate Prosperity (AP) is a global initiative of the Aga Khan Development Network (AKDN) that fosters entrepreneurship and small and growing businesses (SGBs) in emerging economies across Central and South Asia. Operating in Pakistan, Tajikistan, Kyrgyzstan, and Afghanistan, AP provides a blended model of incubation, acceleration, technical assistance, and access to patient capital. Its mission is to unlock the growth potential of promising enterprises, particularly those led by youth and women, and to create sustainable jobs in underserved regions. AP supports SGBs through tailored business advisory services, market linkages, and financing solutions that combine equity, debt, and technical support. By strengthening business practices and promoting environmentally sustainable models, AP enables entrepreneurs to scale responsibly, attract investment, and integrate into wider markets. In doing so, AP contributes to resilient local economies, inclusive growth, and the development of a stronger entrepreneurial ecosystem.
