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.
