The Promoting Sustainability Partnership for Economic Transformations (PROSPECTS) is fully funded by the Swedish Government through its Agency for International Development (SIDA), and implemented by Mercy Corps Liberia. The PROSPECTS program has three components; employment and entrepreneurship, social business for employment, and business advisory support. Mercy Corps provides incentives for the trainees to cover transportation and other expenses. After the apprenticeship period, 20 (11 female, 9 male) out of 45 apprentices were retained by the businesses where they were assigned. Mercy Corps is a leading global organization powered by the belief that a better world is possible.
