In the last five years, 13 Phoenix Fund pilots have been completed. As is typical in investing in untested ideas, some of these pilots have had great success and some haven't.
Great lessons have been learned from those that were unsuccessful, and those lessons are shared across Mercy Corps staff to enhance the quality of new Phoenix Fund pilots.
The links and attached PDFs below are some of the ones that have succeeded, in terms of creating sustainable change and livelihoods for communities.
