The United Nations World Food Programme and the United States Agency for International Development , in collaboration with WFP’s Innovation Accelerator, launched the first in-country innovation competition in search of local solutions to tackle food insecurity in the Philippines.
This initiative is part of the Preparedness and Response Excellence in the Philippines program, supported by USAID, the Australian Government’s Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade and others. PREP aims to enhance the Philippines’ emergency response and management capacities, supporting vulnerable Filipinos during disasters.
“Natural disasters can affect food supply chains, livelihoods, and access to proper nutrition, which can trap people in a cycle of hunger and poverty for years. Innovative solutions can help the most vulnerable communities prepare for and recover from these crises,” said Ben Hemingway, USAID Bureau for Humanitarian Assistance Regional Director for East Asia and the Pacific.
