WFP Innovation Accelerator x Adaptation Fund Climate Innovation Accelerator (AFCIA) 2027

The World Food Programme (WFP), in partnership with the Adaptation Fund, has launched the third edition of the Adaptation Fund Climate Innovation Accelerator (AFCIA) in Latin America and the Caribbean. Extreme weather events like droughts, floods, storms, and rising temperatures are severely impacting food systems, disrupting food production, and increasing food insecurity in climate-vulnerable communities across the region.

Implemented by WFP, AFCIA aims to identify, support, and scale innovative solutions originating from or applicable to Latin America and the Caribbean—specifically focusing on the Dominican Republic, El Salvador, and Peru. The initiative targets innovations that strengthen community resilience, improve food security, and assist vulnerable populations in adapting to climate change. Selected innovators will participate in a nine-month Sprint programme equipped with funding and support to scale their solutions.
