New Iraq Innovation Challenge closes this week

The World Food Programme (WFP) has launched its first-ever call for applications in Iraq in search of ‘both low- and high-tech solutions’ in areas including sustainable agriculture and water scarcity.

The PALM (Promoting Adaptation through Localized Methods) Iraq Innovation Challenge, is open to for-profit and not-for-profit organisations that have a ‘legal established entity registered in Iraq’, or an ‘operational presence in Iraq, whether through a subsidiary, in-country office, distributors, or partnership’.

The selected innovation teams will be ‘eligible to receive up to US$25,000 as an equity free grant from WFP’, get the chance to join an innovation coaching workshop in Iraq in January 2025, and participate in a three-month WFP Sprint Programme (Feb – April 2025) to pilot their solutions and ‘receive operational support’.

Apply by 12 October.
