Request for Expression of Interest (EOI) - Provision of Storytelling and Pitch Training Services

The WFP Global Accelerator and Ventures, based in Munich, Germany, is the World Food Programme’s flagship platform for sourcing, supporting, and scaling high-impact innovations that contribute to ending hunger and achieving the Sustainable Development Goals. Established to strengthen WFP’s ability to test and scale new approaches, the Accelerator applies lean startup and human-centered design methods, provides access to funding, technical expertise, and global partnerships, and works with WFP staff, startups, entrepreneurs, and external partners to translate innovative ideas into solutions deployed across diverse humanitarian and development contexts worldwide.

WFP seeks qualified service providers to deliver storytelling and pitch training services, including trainings, workshops, coaching, and tailored advisory support. These services directly support the Accelerator’s mission to identify, nurture, and scale innovative solutions to end hunger, by strengthening the capacity of innovation teams, ventures, and WFP units to articulate value propositions, secure buy-in, and scale high-impact solutions across diverse contexts.

WFP invites eligible suppliers to express their interest in providing the requested services. Eligibility to participate in the proposed tender will be determined on the basis of:

• Vendor’s relevant experience, technical capacity, and demonstrated ability to deliver high-quality storytelling and pitch training services in innovation, entrepreneurship, and humanitarian or international development contexts.
• Consideration will also be given to experience working with accelerators or impact ventures, familiarity with lean startup and human-operate in multicultural and low resource environments, and capacity to deliver services remotely and globally.
