FORSA + The Forsa +, 12-month emergency COVID-19 response programme will  mitigate the economic impact of the pandemic at household, business and community level. The FORSA+ programme works with businesses, CBOs and municipalities to support early recovery activities during and after the COVID-19 crisis and to strengthen food security systems at the local level. The FORSA+ programme builds upon Mercy Corps’ current nearly decade-long livelihood interventions in Lebanon . With jobs lost, businesses closed or at risk of closing and unemployment spiking in Lebanon, the combination of these factors are endangering the economy and households’ livelihoods. FORSA+ seeks to deliver assistance to those most in need, while supporting micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs) with protection from closure, helping them adapt, and grow so that there is greater opportunity to increase demand for labour, which FORSA II can help fill with its education/employment nexus. The project will provide technical and in-kind assistance to 27 MSMEs in the food and health sectors, and tailored support to 15 local agricultural initiatives contributing to food security in the Bekaa and South Governorates. To mitigate the economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic at household, business and community levels.
1. Improved food security systems and access to livelihoods.
2. Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) active in the health and food sectors are able to continue their operations and adapt to the new context.
3. Local agricultural initiatives are able to increase their production, reduce their costs and/or provide substitutes to imported products.
Humanitarian assistance to vulnerable households affected by the earthquake in Nepal •	Conduct rapid local market and needs assessment and baseline. The market assessment will include: capacity and access to financial services; vendor and supplier capacity; cash capacity; productive assets status, etc. Mercy Corps will consult with communities to determine the agreed vulnerability criteria for beneficiary selection.  
•	Design appropriate cash transfer mechanism based on assessment data, availability of appropriate partners, and beneficiary needs
•	Procurement and distribution of essential NFRI kits (including kitchen sets; solar lamps; sanitary items; water purification tablets; shelter materials; and hygiene materials)
•	Implement cash transfer mechanism. Mercy Corps anticipates that this project will be an early cash response, and may be followed up with larger cash responses. Project staff will use this period as an opportunity to map available cash distribution agents and channels. This mapping will be shared with cash coordination structures in country and through existing CaLP communication channels.  
•	Post distribution monitoring (cash and NFRIs)
; 3,000 earthquake-affected HHs (15,000 individuals) have improved access to essential non-food items 
•	3,000 earthquake-affected HHs (15,000 individuals) receive appropriate cash transfers
•	If appropriate, selected vendors and local suppliers are supported to restock, enabling HHs to purchase items locally and reinvigorate the local market

Strengthen government and community initiatives to reduce youth participation in violence Objective 3: Strengthen and expand government efforts to support youth to fulfil their economic ambitions and reduce their vulnerability to Boko Haram’s financial inducements Objective 4: Amplify existing grass-roots counter narratives to prevent youth participation in extremist groups
Reinforcing Adaptable, Locally Led Initiatives for Emergency Response (RALLIER) in support of Affected Populations in the Sahel Designed collaboratively between seven international and national partners across three countries, the goal of the RALLIER programme is to improve humanitarian outcomes for vulnerable, conflict and climate impacted populations across Mali, Burkina Faso, and Niger. The programme will have a principal focus on the Liptako Gourma tri-border area, with potential expansion to Maradi (Niger) should overarching needs approach comparable levels of scale and intensity. Within its scope there are two Outcomes, with Outcome 1 focused around the provision of basic needs support (food [primarily through cash], nutrition, health + protection) to affected populations, and Outcome 2 focused on strengthening underlying response systems and supporting early recovery activities among affected populations where feasible. The programme will ensure an intentional focus on providing support to the most at-risk population groups, particularly women, girls, and unaccompanied minors, in addition to people with disabilities. A protection and gender analysis (already underway) will be disseminated at proposal phase to underpin this. From an inclusive management perspective, national partners will actively participate in all phases of design, implementation and adaptive management-oriented decision making, while leading in core areas such as protection, participant identification and increasing social cohesion. There will also be significant mutual strengthening of capacities between participating organisations.
PREO PREO aim is to test different models, create demonstration effects to encourage additional investment, and thereby help build sustainable markets at scale. This approach catalyses market development on the demand side, by focussing on the business needs and market dynamics of local productive use businesses, and fostering development of Productive Uses around existing and/ or new value chains to increase productivity and value of goods and services sold (local value capture). This approach to “locally relevant demand-led partnership building” differentiates the PREO concept from other development approaches to PEU. Further, we will promote these examples to development actors, so that we constructively influence the policy, funding and development landscape, and translate local economic development successes into impact at scale.
Building Resilience and Adaptation to Climate Extremes and Disasters (BRACED) Programme - Stimulation of market based mechanisms to build the resilience of 339,140 climate vulnerable people in Ethiopia. BRACED will test innovative market-based approaches to improve the resilience of economic, ecological and social systems in the Ethiopian lowlands. These approaches will open opportunities for vulnerable pastoral/agro-pastoral households, businesses and communities in rural and periurban areas to better manage risk and resources, and successfully transform their livelihoods should they choose to. BRACED will leverage and engage private investors in addressing climate risks, modelling approaches for environmentally and socially responsible investment. It will promote inclusive financial models and economic opportunities adaptable to climate extremes, and stimulate appropriate diversification of economic activity among the most vulnerable, through public and private-sector partnerships.
Educating Nigerian Girls in New Enterprises (ENGINE) Gender dynamics in Northern Nigeria generally place significant economic decision-making into the hands of men regarding girls’ and women’s access to basic services (e.g. health and education). Many girls aged 15 to 19  are formally employed, with a higher percentage informally employed or underemployed, earning money on an ad-hoc basis.  Adolescent girls in Northern Nigeria require vocational and skills-based training, along with direct access to assets, in order to increase their economic and social status and enhance their earning potential. ENGINE will equip marginalized girls/young women (ages 17 to 19) to successfully integrate into the Coca-Cola value chain by preparing and facilitating their transition to work.  With skills obtained through training, girls who choose to become retailers within the Coca-Cola value chain will have the opportunity to increase their direct income and long-term assets. ENGINE will engage up to 10,500 girls in Abuja, Kaduna, Kano, Jigawa, and Katsina states. ENGINE will focus on marginalized girls/young women not in school and not currently reached through bilateral programmes. ENGINE is structured around the theory of change that if more marginalised Nigerian girls access demand-driven skills, then they will delay marriage, have lower fertility rates, increased earning power, and increased decision-making within the household;
SAFER IV The purpose of the ongoing SAFER programme is to alleviate the aftermath of
humanitarian crises through the dignifying provision of multipurpose cash assistance (MPCA) and water, sanitation, and hygiene services (WASH) to vulnerable households affected by shocks, whether man-made or caused by natural disasters. Among the survivors of humanitarian crises, the SAFER consortium will continue to reach the most vulnerable internally displaced people (IDPs), returnees, and host communities. The programme will contribute to assist them to meet their critical basic needs and prevent reliance on negative coping mechanisms.
Gaza Sky Geeks (GSGs) - Entrepreneurship & Income Generation Initiative Mercy Corps has designed a programme that will capitalise on the strengths of our ground-breaking Gaza Sky Geeks (GSG) tech entrepreneurship programme and pioneering work in online freelancing to address key underlying constraints hampering growth of the supporting ecosystem. In addition, we will build on the work we have done with micro-enterprises to capitalise on pockets of opportunity to add jobs in other sectors. Increasing micro-enterprises productive capacity so they are able to meet market needs. In doing so, Mercy Corps and GSG have the goal of improving the competitiveness of the technology ecosystem; and create new jobs in the technology and other promising sectors in OPT.
Educating Nigerian Girls in New Enterprises (ENGINE II) ENGINE 2 will transform the lives of marginalised Nigerian girls through improving educational outcomes, enabling successful transitions into income-generating activities, and transferring knowledge to the regional and national education system to create sustainable changes in girls’ empowerment. In-school-girls (ISG) will benefit from enhanced in-school facilities and improved digital and technology options. Out-of-school-girls (OSG) will gain access to digital learning with tailored modules, enabling them to complete school while maintaining economic and familial responsibilities. Leveraging innovative partnerships, girls will benefit from life skills, health education, digital and financial literacy, and job readiness training; peer networks and mentorships; and access to finance.
