The discussion's featured speaker is Peter Bakker, president of the World Business Council for Sustainable Development, Ambassador Against Hunger for the UN World Food Program, Chairman, War Child in the Netherlands.
Bekker has experience with the private sector and has been a partner of the World Food Program since January 2011.
“I look forward to seeing WFP continue to build partnerships with the private sector because in that combination there is true power and lots of motivation,” Bekker says.
It was Bakker himself who approached WFP in 2002 with the idea of a partnership. As he pointed out, it was a natural fit. WFP delivers millions of tons of food to people in 70 countries around the world each year. TNT is a commercial transport and logistics company serving more than 200 countries and employing around 161,500 people, according to the World Food Program's Website.
