Meet Matthew Bunch.

Matthew Bunch, Country Director

Matthew Bunch joined the Hunger Project Canada as Country Director in October 2022. Since completing a PhD at the University of Waterloo, Matt has worked in the areas of international development, human rights and on issues of peace and security for non-profit and non-governmental organizations, think tanks and as a volunteer.

Matt has broad experience in leadership and collaborative roles, and has worked closely with partners and organizations in the creation and dissemination of knowledge to educate, inform and stimulate action. Matt is a licensed chef, and from this experience became aware of the importance and urgency of issues of food security at home and internationally. He is excited to bring his skills and experience to the work of the Hunger Project Canada. Matt has been fortunate to work with a host of dedicated and passionate colleagues, and has learned much from these individuals and relationships.

When not engaging in his work for The Hunger Project Canada, Matt can be found with his partner and son in a canoe in the backwoods of Ontario, Canada, volunteering for community organizations in his home community of Centre Wellington, and making music with friends and family.
