Innovation at WFP is an organization-wide effort firmly rooted in local insights, recognizing that individuals closest to the challenges often hold the key to solving them. The WFP Innovation Accelerator functions as a global innovation unit of the organization, forging close collaborations with WFP country offices, business units and the broader WFP Innovation Network.
The WFP Innovation Network comprises diverse innovation teams strategically positioned across WFP’s regional offices and country offices that manage their own portfolio of localized innovative solutions. It enables and drives innovation, by activating WFP innovators, mainstreaming a culture of innovation & collaboration throughout the organization, by providing tailored services and by building the digital systems and facilitated exchanges to scale and maximize impact.
