Innovation

We continued to explore the potential of cutting-edge technologies, from blockchain and data analytics to drones and cloud computing, as part of our digitization agenda. Projects included H2Grow, WFP's no-soil, water-efficient hydroponics solution, and Building Blocks, the humanitarian sector's largest blockchain-based, cash-distribution system used for refugees in Jordan and Bangladesh.

We set up the Migration Pulse, which uses digital technologies to collect information from highly mobile and hard-to-reach communities. The technology was tested in more than ten countries and eight reports were published covering Venezuelan migrants and host communities in Colombia, Ecuador and Peru, and migrants from West, East and North Africa.
