$100,000 Grant for New NGO Startups for providing Solutions to disrupt hunger worldwide (Cohort II)

Deadline (Cohort II): 13 March 2020

The World Food Programme is seeking applications for its Innovation Accelerator Programme.

The WFP Innovation Accelerator sources, supports and scales high-potential solutions to hunger worldwide. They provide WFP staff, entrepreneurs, start-ups, companies and non-governmental organizations with access to funding, mentorship, hands-on support and WFP operations.

The Accelerator believes 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.
