Description
1) Objective
The WFP Innovation Accelerator identifies, nurtures and scales bold solutions to hunger globally. They support WFP innovators and external start-ups and companies through financial support, access to a network of experts and a global field reach. They believe the way forward in the fight against hunger is not necessarily in building grand plans, but identifying and testing solutions in an agile way. The Innovation Accelerator is a space where the world can find out what works and what doesn’t in addressing hunger – a place where we can be bold, and fail as well as succeed.
They are looking for innovations that meet the following expectations: (1) Impact for the people we serve and potential to reach Zero Hunger; (2) Feasibility, including time to deliver impact, technology maturity, and user traction; (3) Level of innovation; (4) Financial sustainability with a clear business case that does not rely on WFP funding; and (5) Team strength, experience, and commitment.
2) Eligibility
Eligible applicants are WFP entrepreneurs, start-ups, companies and NGOs.
3) Location
Actions can take place in various countries worldwide.
4) Budget
The WFP Innovation Accelerator distributes up to $100,000 in funding, mentorship from industry experts and access to the world’s largest humanitarian organisation.
