Local Adaptation

Bamyan Media assembles a locally-rooted consortium of partners in every place we work, to adapt the series and increase its effectiveness on the ground.

At every step in the process, Bamyan looks to local partners to get involved — from getting the word out to potential contestants, to developing series episodes and challenges, to providing prizes and investments to promising businesses.

These are just some of the partners we look for to help locally adapt and execute each series:

• Small and Medium Enterprise Associations (SMEs)
• Government Agencies Promoting Business
• Universities
• Blended Capital Intermediaries
• Social/Impact Investors
• International and Local Philanthropic Foundations
• International and Local Investor Groups
• International Aid Agencies
• Sponsors (Private Sector, Corporate, and NGOs)
• National and Local Banks
• Micro-finance Institutions
• Business Cooperatives and Associations
• On-line Communities and Platforms
• Community Organizations/Centers, Non-Profits
