Why are private partners involved in this event?

WFP cannot fight global hunger and poverty alone. Therefore, we seek additional funding and valuable expertise from private companies active in areas such as transport, food, information and communications technology, logistics, finance and human resources. The idea behind Walk the World originates from one of WFP’s logistical partners, TNT. It is therefore natural that our partners are involved in this global event to secure visibility and the highest possible number of participants across the globe.
