Global Coalition Urges WFP to End Partnership with Palantir

• The Global Digital Justice Forum and several civil society organizations are campaigning for the World Food Programme (WFP) to terminate its five-year contract renewal with Palantir Technologies.
• Critics argue the partnership threatens data privacy, transparency, and governance, especially as the WFP leads UN-wide supply chain reforms known as UN80.

Background and Concerns

• A June 2026 investigation by Tech for Bad highlighted the extensive integration of Palantir’s Foundry platform into the WFP's data ecosystem.
• An August 2025 leaked internal audit revealed high-priority risks related to data governance, privacy, and risk management practices within the WFP.

Demands and Next Steps

• The coalition has issued an open letter demanding greater accountability and transparency regarding the terms of the deal.
• The campaign invites humanitarian workers, researchers, and citizens to support the call for ending the relationship to better protect the world's most vulnerable populations.
