Empowering nutrition, building resilience: world food programme and international potato center join forces

To combat hunger and malnutrition, the World Food Program (WFP) and the International Potato Center (CIP) have extended their partnership for a further four years with a new memorandum of understanding (MOU) today. The next phase of collaboration shifts focus toward research and innovation that will mobilize the nutrition benefits of biofortified and other nutritious crops through market alliances, school feeding, and other social protection programs.

Recognizing the urgent need for deeper partnership between research and delivery at the nexus between humanitarian programming and resilience building, WFP and CIP join their complementary capabilities to drive nutrition focused innovations for vulnerable populations in Kenya and neighbouring countries.
