BLOOM Consortium Director

About Prosper Global Barely enough is not enough for anyone. Prosper Global is a humanitarian organization working alongside communities facing conflict, climate change, and economic hardship to meet urgent needs and create the conditions for lasting progress. Today's challenges demand new solutions, so we pair local knowledge with global resources to help communities build what's needed, test what's possible, and scale what's proven so that people everywhere can pursue a full life on their own terms.

In 2026, we changed our name from Prosper Global to Prosper Global, to reflect our belief that when every community can prosper, all of humanity moves forward. In Ukraine, Prosper Global supports war-affected communities to cope, adapt, and thrive by strengthening the resilience of people, markets, and institutions. Since 2022, we have reached more than 1.

5 million people through humanitarian assistance and economic recovery programming, including support to small businesses, farmers, and agribusinesses. Through market-based approaches, partnerships with civil society organizations, and innovative financing mechanisms, we advance sustainable economic opportunities, inclusive growth and energy and climate resilience.

Accountability, localization, and partnership are central to our approach, ensuring that programs are responsive to the needs and priorities of the communities we serve. The Program The FCDO-funded Building Livelihoods and Opportunities for Optimised Markets (BLOOM) program aims to provide resilience support (farm & off-farm) to improve the food security and self-reliance of vulnerable, war-affected households and communities by protecting and restoring their food production and livelihoods.

BLOOM addresses immediate livelihood needs and market barriers in conflict-affected oblasts utilizing a push-pull approach: Track 1 provides direct support (push) where needed, while Track 2 supports and strengthens the market systems Ukrainians rely on most both in and out of crisis (pull). Track 1 strengthens the resilience of vulnerable populations, helping them cope and adapt within ongoing crisis.

This includes farm and off-farm cash grants, capacity strengthening, and protection services. These efforts, delivered in partnership with local actors, promote equity by enabling vulnerable households to transition from meeting immediate needs to economic self-reliance. Track 2 complements Track 1 with “pull” mechanisms to improve quality and responsiveness of the social and economic systems communities rely on.
