#DisruptHunger: The Innovators Making It Happen 2025 Edition

2025 has been a year of immense challenges: 318 million people face acute hunger across 67 countries, with nearly two million on the edge of famine. Yet, innovation has been a source of hope, helping us reach more people, more efficiently, when it matters most.In the words of Rania Dagash-Kamara, World Food Programme (WFP) Assistant Executive Director for Partnerships and Innovation: "Innovation is the key to WFP's mission, especially in the most challenging contexts. Whether it's our dedicated staff in country offices or our global partnerships and innovation teams, the transformative solutions we create are driven by the needs of the people we serve. Our work is centred around people, and every innovation we champion aims to bring lasting, positive change to their lives."WFP's global network of innovators, partners and supporters has achieved remarkable results, creating positive impacts for some of the world's most vulnerable communities. Many have stepped up their commitment to advancing innovative approaches, investing in new technologies and solutions to amplify efficiency and effectiveness while recognizing the transformative potential of innovation. We are deeply grateful to our partners and collaborators for standing with us on this journey to end hunger through innovation. None of these successes would be possible without them! A special appreciation goes to our WFP colleagues worldwide, who continue to spread hope and drive progress in the face of adversity.
