Today, Palantir Technologies (Palantir) and the United Nations World Food
Programme (WFP) announced a five-year partnership aimed at helping WFP use
its data to streamline the delivery of food and cash-based assistance in
life-saving emergency relief operations around the world.
WFP will use Palantir’s Foundry software platform to bring together data
sources from across the organization, enabling staff at headquarters and in
field locations to access and analyse programmatic and operational data in
a secure, unified environment. By connecting proven methods of delivering
food assistance with dynamic data, WFP aims to reduce the cost of
operations while continuing to serve its beneficiaries.



The sheer scale of WFP’s operations, assisting some 90 million people in
about 80 countries, means that even small efficiencies in operational and
supply chain management can lead to dramatic savings. WFP generates vast
amounts of data through the purchasing of 3 million metric tons of food
every year and the delivery of 15 billion rations across dozens of
development projects worldwide. Making this data accessible across the
organization will help WFP become even more efficient in multiple programme
areas, including cash-based transfers, supply chain optimization, and
nutritional requirements.



The partnership with Palantir underlines WFP’s strong commitment to digital
transformation as it strives to meet the goal of ending world hunger by
2030. Building upon Palantir’s world-class data integration technology, WFP
will develop new analytical tools to seize digital opportunities, improve
real-time decision-making, and enhance global operations.
