WFP Innovation Accelerator x Adaptation Fund Climate Innovation Accelerator (AFCIA) Asia Cohort 2025

The Adaptation Fund Climate Innovation Accelerator (AFCIA) programme, run by the WFP Innovation Accelerator in partnership with the Adaptation Fund, supports startups and innovators addressing climate adaptation in Asia. The Asia Cohort 2025 focuses on innovations for Nepal, Pakistan and the Philippines, providing innovation consultancy, visibility, funding, field access and mentoring through a six-month sprint programme.

Innovation consultancy, extensive visibility across WFP channels, equity-free funding up to US$200,000, access to WFP field operations and testing opportunities, nine months of sprint programme with training, mentoring and technical assistance, and a network of mentors from top-tier organizations.

Your organization must be an established legal entity with a presence or willingness to build a presence in one of the three countries of implementation (Egypt, Jordan, Lebanon) and your innovation must be at least in the seed stage with a clear pathway to scale.
