Together with WFP Technology, we produced the award-winning Great Enablers website, telling the story of how the people and partnerships behind innovation and technology at WFP paved the way to the Nobel Peace Prize en route to the ultimate goal of eliminating hunger by 2030.
One Accelerator-supported project, Takachar, was awarded Prince William’s Earthshot Prize for its innovative solution that turns crop waste into bioproducts while reducing air pollution.
Our wider WFP family was also in the spotlight. WFP’s Supply Chain team received the prestigious Franz Edelman Award for advanced analytics, and for its use of data to save lives. Our own scale-up enablement project Optimus was an example of this success. The United Nations Humanitarian Booking Hub, an online platform powered by WFP, received the Best Transport Achievement Award from the Fleet Forum.
