Deadline: 06 April, 2022
The World Food Programme (WFP) has launched a call for participation in the 2022 WFP Innovation Challenge.
According to WFP, the fact that 811 million people still go to bed hungry each night suggests that food systems – the path that food travels from field to our plates – are not meeting the needs of all people.
This year’s campaign challenges participants to innovatively rethink the world’s food systems.
Benefits
- Selected teams will be invited to participate in a fully virtual WFP Innovation Boot camp in June 2022
- Opportunity to apply for the WFP Sprint Programme, a six-month acceleration programme with access to possible U.S.$ 100,000 in equity-free funding, mentorship, and WFP’s global network of partners and vast field operations
Eligibility
- Startup must be incorporated at the time of application
- Startup can be for profit or not-for-profit
- Innovation must at least be at the minimum viable product (MVP) stage
- Solution should be financially viable
- Proposal must show how working with WFP will serve long-term strategy
