Show Notes
In this episode of Working Together, we turn the spotlight on the WFP IGNITE Food Systems Challenge in South Sudan—an initiative that sparks local innovation, builds climate resilience, and strengthens food security across the country. We look at how the challenge identifies and supports agribusiness ventures with catalytic grants and hands-on mentorship.
In our conversation with WFP representatives, we ask: What inspired the launch of the IGNITE Challenge in South Sudan, and how does it fit into WFP’s broader goals? We also explore how inclusivity is built into the program, especially for women and youth-led enterprises.
And to ground it all, we’ll hear from a past winner, sharing how their innovation is already transforming food systems and improving livelihoods in South Sudan.
