Woofun AI reports that the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) is scaling its Stellar blockchain pilot to 17 countries following 16 months of research and field testing. The initiative transitions from project-based funding to a scalable infrastructure for humanitarian aid. In Syria, a "Cash-for-Work" program reduced distribution costs from 10% to 2% by recording payments on a public ledger. In Haiti, the system maintained a 100% success rate during total cellular network failure, ensuring instant payment access. This expansion embeds Distributed Ledger Technology into long-term operational workflows, improving aid transparency and efficiency for unbanked populations.
