AI 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/SolutionsAI for Fair and Efficient Aid Distribution
Global Not ApplicableWinner of the 2026 Innovation Awards – Category 5: People’s Choice Award. WFP’s Enterprise Deduplication Solution tackles duplicate entries in WFP’s beneficiary databases using advanced AI matching algorithms. These errors can lead to unintended over-assistance, diverting resources from those in greater need. With an accuracy rate exceeding 99.99 percent, the system has already been piloted in three country offices, resulting in close to $400,000 in cost efficiencies. Independent assessments confirm compliance with global data privacy and security standards. Future improvements will introduce a user-friendly interface and fingerprint integration to further refining identity verification and ensuring every dollar in assistance reaches the right recipients.
