BRAC is in the process of implementing a 36 months project for "Unlocking Financial Solutions for Youth Enterprise Development"/ "Access to Capital and Entrepreneurial Skills for Success"

The proposed "ACCESS" project aims to tackle the issue of limited access to conventional financial resources for youth (aged 18-35) entrepreneurs in Bangladesh who aspire to develop or expand their income-generating ventures. In collaboration with Silatech, BRAC will extend loans to these young entrepreneurs to improve the economic well-being of both the youths and their households.

The project is scheduled to conclude in September 2026.
