IGNITE Food Systems Challenge Somalia Calls for Applications
The United Nations World Food Programme (WFP) and Somalia Response Innovation Lab (SomRIL) with the support of USAID Bureau of Humanitarian Affairs (BHA) and the Danish Ministry of Foreign Affairs, are looking for solutions in Somalia that address food insecurity through strengthening food systems.
The IGNITE Food Systems Challenge grants funding and technical support to local entrepreneurs addressing challenges in food systems and climate resilience, specifically priorities of the United Nations and relief and resilience partners in the country. These solutions should have the potential to scale WFP, UN, and INGO programmatic impact or increase efficiency. The selected innovations can receive up to $40,000 in grant funding each to test their innovation in the field. Meanwhile, a 3-month acceleration programme will also be offered to support funded innovators to grow their solution by connecting them with potential funders, partners and Country Offices who can support implementation.
