Uber helps UN World Food Program improve aid delivery in Ukraine
The Uber taxi service has created a separate version of the platform to help the UN World Food Program with the essential goods delivery in Ukraine. This technology is already working in Dnipro and is planned to expand to Lviv, Vinnytsia, Kyiv, and Chernivtsi.
“Because it’s difficult for large vehicles to travel through built-up urban areas, cooperation with Uber allows the World Food Program to better coordinate, dispatch, and track a fleet of smaller vehicles that deliver emergency supplies from warehouses to people in need of assistance in densely populated areas of Ukraine.”
“This technology helps streamline our response and improve how we help Ukrainian communities. It improves our access to Ukrainian businesses on the Uber network, making our operations more efficient and using local opportunities,” Coordinator of the UN World Food Program in Ukraine Matthew Hollingworth said.
