The initiative offers grants and/or technical assistance of the value between £200,000 and £600,000. It has been established by the Department for International Development (DFID) in partnership with the Department for International Trade.

VSCF will support proposals that focus on the garment and agriculture sectors in at least one of the following countries; Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Burkina Faso, Chad, DRC, Ethiopia, Ghana, Iran, Iraq, Jamaica, Jordan, Kenya, Lebanon, Libya, Malawi, Mali, Mozambique, Myanmar, Niger, Nigeria, OPTs, Pakistan, Rwanda, Sierra Leone, Somalia, South Sudan, Sudan, Syria, Tanzania, Uganda, Yemen, Zambia, and Zimbabwe, according to a press release by UKFT.

Applications of support from VSCF are welcome from businesses facing industry challenges and looking for advisory/ facilitation support; businesses looking to support the livelihoods of poor and vulnerable workers and suppliers in their supply chains; not-for-profit organisations supporting MNCs/SMEs and their suppliers in specific sectors/ geographies; not-for-profit organisations supporting transparency and accountability mechanisms within/across specific supply chains; not-for-profit organisations supporting informal workers and smallholder farmers that are part of global supply chains.
