BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE OF THE ASSIGNMENT:

<a name="_heading=h.gjdgxs"></a>The
 World Food Programme (WFP) is the United Nations frontline agency 
fighting hunger. WFP reaches more than 100 million people every day - 
delivering food assistance in emergencies and working with smallholder 
farmers, communities, and governments to improve nutrition and build 
resilience.

The
 WFP Innovation Accelerator was named by Fast Company as Most Innovative
 Non-Profit Organization 2021 for its work in identifying, nurturing, 
and scaling disruptive start-ups and innovations to end global hunger. 
Based in Munich, Germany, the Innovation Accelerator provides WFP 
employees and start-ups with funding, hands-on support, and access to 
WFPâ€™s global operations. Through the Accelerator, WFP is leveraging 
unprecedented advances in digital innovation - such as mobile 
technology, artificial intelligence and blockchain - and new business 
models to transform the way it serves vulnerable communities across the 
world. In 2021, Accelerator supported innovations that positively 
impacted the lives of 8.6 million people globally. Most recently, the 
Accelerator runs programmes for external partners such as the Bill &
 Melinda Gates Foundation and others.
