What they built
Famoco prototyped a communized payment switch that could be used between UN bank accounts and end-point distribution accounts.

The Opportunities and Challenges
Famoco will be working with WFP to determine if this solution will meet their needs and scope a pilot project accordingly. Any barriers to adoption or additional system functionality that will need to be addressed will be handled in close collaboration with WFP in the initial stages of any potential pilot deployment. Currently, the team thinks there is potential for Mojaloop to address a number of WFP needs and is moving forward with these conversations.
