Achievements of the PROSECTS Partnership

The PROSPECTS partnership has been exceptional both in its approach and its results. What sets PROSPECTS apart is its approach which connects governments, UN agencies, financial institutions, businesses, and local communities to create sustainable solutions that reduce reliance on aid and promote economic stability.  

Key Results

Since 2019, the partnership between the Kingdom of the Netherlands, UNHCR, UNICEF, ILO, World Bank, and IFC has achieved significant results:

  • Registration of over 2 million refugees and asylum-seekers,1.5 million of them in Egypt, Jordan and Lebanon, providing documentation and legal status to access basic rights and service
  • More than 170,000 people, both forcibly displaced people and members of host communities benefiting from national social protection systems
  • Mental health, psychosocial and other case management support to over 770,000 people
  • Helping 1.8 million children and youth to complete education and job training programs
  • Facilitating 70,000 employment opportunities

Empowering System Change

Traditional systems are struggling to keep pace with the challenges of forced migration. Today, at least one in every 67 people worldwide are forcibly displaced. That is nearly double what it was a decade ago. These unprecedented numbers require real systemic change, which is exactly what PROSPECTS is committed to help catalyse. 

But system change requires people who are trained, capable and confident in delivering services grounded in rights and dignity. On this front, PROSPECTS has achieved one of its key results: Across all PROSPECTS countries, more than 54,000 government and civil society staff have been trained to improve protection, labour rights, and access to national services.

Phase 1 of PROSPECTS was implemented between 2019-2023. Now, in Phase 2 (2024-2027), partners will continue to focus on supporting systemic policy change, helping integrate forcibly displaced persons and other vulnerable groups into national systems and implementing longer-term and sustainable development interventions in protracted displacement contexts.
