AI-Assisted Editorial Bot
Global Not ApplicableThe Communications Division, particularly the Media Team, is responsible for drafting and issuing time-sensitive press releases, operational updates, statements, and social media content across HQ, Regional Bureaux, and Country Offices. There is a clear opportunity to standardize and accelerate editorial workflows by embedding AI-assisted guidance directly into the drafting process. A Teams-based assistant could guide authors through structured communications templates, provide automated tone, clarity, and style checks with brief rationales, suggest headlines, spokesperson quotes, and social media content, and support compliance with attribution and editorial standards. This would help reduce drafting time and revision cycles while maintaining consistency and quality across outputs, allowing communications teams to focus more on strategic messaging, editorial judgment, and storytelling rather than repetitive editing tasks.
Activity Type AI Tools/SolutionsMadagascar Multi-hazard Early Warning System
Africa MadagascarMadagascar Multi-hazard Early Warning System strengthens Madagascar's disaster risk reduction capacity by integrating monitoring for drought, floods, cyclones, landslides, and epidemics into a single platform. It leverages real-time data and predictive analytics with interactive mapping to support government institutions and UN agencies in building resilience and enabling timely, coordinated humanitarian response. The system enhances risk-informed decision-making through integrated data analytics, GIS mapping, and early warning capabilities that advance sustainable development and protect vulnerable communities.
Activity Type AI Tools/SolutionsTrainings/WorkshopsResearch/Reports/AssessmentsInfrastructure/Systems DevelopmentAI for Real-Time Food Security Monitoring
Global Dominican RepublicAccurate, timely insights are critical for anticipating and responding to food insecurity. HungerMap LIVE is WFP’s global food security monitoring system that consolidates diverse datasets — from food security, nutrition, conflict, weather, and macroeconomic indicators — into a unified, interactive platform. By integrating real-time information and leveraging advanced data visualization, HungerMap LIVE offers continuously updated snapshots of food security conditions at global, national, and sub-national levels. This empowers faster, evidence-based decision-making, improves operational agility, and enhances early warning by identifying populations at risk before crises escalate. WFP is also expanding the predictive capabilities of HungerMap LIVE through artificial intelligence and machine learning. Predictive models forecast future food security trends based on dynamic factors such as weather anomalies, conflict data, and economic shifts, helping stakeholders to deploy resources earlier and more effectively to prevent food crises.
Activity Type AI Tools/SolutionsSKAI: AI-Powered Satellite Imagery for Disaster Response
Global PakistanSyriaTürkiyeWFP, in collaboration with Google Research, has developed SKAI, an AI-powered satellite imagery analysis tool that significantly accelerates disaster damage assessments. Using advanced machine learning, SKAI automates the identification of damaged buildings and infrastructure, providing critical insights in under 48 hours, 13 times faster and 77 percent cheaper than manual methods. In crises such as the Türkiye-Syria earthquakes and Pakistan floods, SKAI supported rapid assessments, enabling faster, more efficient humanitarian responses. By reducing reliance on manual analysis, the tool ensures that WFP and its partners can quickly determine the extent of damage, prioritize assistance, and allocate resources effectively.
