Global agricultural research network CGIAR joins forces with World Food Programme to tackle post-pandemic hunger (Nigeria Shafaqna) 

January 26, 2021


Nigeria Shafaqna published an article stating that the World Food Program and CGIAR are working together to combat hunger. A newly integrated leadership and Board put in place last year will support the level of collaboration required for an integrated global and country response. In addition to the new MoU, CGIAR and WFP already collaborate on several projects. WFP and CGIAR’s IFPRI have worked together for more than two decades in areas such as improving food aid distribution systems and designing social protection programs that aim to improve nutrition through food and cash transfers to the poor.
