Information and communication technology solutions have the potential to greatly enhance and amplify the impact of efforts to address pressing global challenges in the humanitarian space. ICT4D can greatly improve the speed, efficiency, and impact of international development efforts, helping organizations to better serve communities in need, particularly for people who are marginalized or living in remote areas.

WFP Humanitarian Innovation Accelerator Programme

The World Food Programme’s Humanitarian Innovation Accelerator is now accepting high-impact innovative solutions that strive to enhance emergency management and solve humanitarian challenges faced by vulnerable populations and humanitarian actors.
