The Stability and Peace Accelerator (SAPA) Program was implemented by the World Food Programme’s Innovation Accelerator and in collaboration with International Water Management Institute (IWMI), the Alliance of Biodiversity International and the International Center for Tropical Agriculture (CIAT), and the International Institute for Tropical Agriculture (IITA), with support from the CGIAR Initiative on Fragility, Conflict, and Migration1 . The SAPA program focused on identifying and supporting the scaling of potentially high-impact innovations that bolster resilience of food, land, and water systems (FLWS) in Fragile and Conflict Affects (FCA) settings. The WFP Innovation Accelerator and CGIAR selected enterprises through a comprehensive multi-step sourcing and evaluation process. The program sought both low and high-tech solutions tailored to meet the distinct challenges present in FCAs, specifically in Jordan, Kenya, and Nigeria. The sourcing strategy was informed by an Ecosystem Assessment of Food, Land, Water Actors in the Humanitarian, Development, and Peace Nexus2 , which helped identify the following innovation priorities per country: • Jordan: Water and resilience in refugee and host communities • Kenya: Digital solutions for climate security and migration • Nigeria: Resilient food systems and nutrition The program provided financial, technical and venture coaching support to the four innovations over the course of 6 months, beginning in June 2024, and lasting until early December 2024, comprising a scoping, acceleration and closure phase. The country cases presented in this report provide a detailed examination of the project's context, innovation overview, and the specific challenges addressed. The cases also highlight the implementation process, the next steps and potential for scalability of the innovations in their respective settings.
