The newly established WFP fund – the Cooperating Partners’ Innovation Fund (CPIF) – is focusing in its first year on innovative ideas around cash and voucher programming.
WFP seeks to discover, seed, and foster innovative programming to achieve food assistance outcomes at scale. To this end, the Coop erating Partners’ Innovation Fund (CPIF) provides early stage funding for Partners de veloping promising tools or approaches for the design and delivery of efficient, effective, scalable food assistance.
To promote collaboration and shared learning, the CPIF seeks Partner proposals to develop and test replicable innovations around the choice, design, and implementation of cash and voucher interventions with the potential to efficie ntly and effectively achieve food assistance outcomes at scale. Successful innovations will enrich cooperation between Partners and WFP to enhance and expand collaborative cash and voucher programme platforms.
