[METADATA] SDG rating

SDG 4. Ensure inclusive and equitable quality education and promote lifelong learning opportunities for all : The creation of clubs in Bukavu City will have a positive impact because it will have among its objectives to educate the population in cardanno matter and showing these advantages. This project will enable the education system to strengthen the capacity of students in terms of technology but will also help Universities to set up a system for storing and maintaining the necessary documents related to school information in general.

SDG 8. Promote sustained, inclusive and sustainable economic growth, full productive employment and decent work for all : Based on this objective, our project also aims to promote economic growth in Bukavu City given that the cardanno block chain opens the opens doors to everyone in entrepreneurship and gives many advantages in many areas which can increase economic growth in a given environment through the project catalyst .

SDG 9. Build resilient infrastructure, promote inclusive and sustainable industrialization and encourage innovation : Among our visions, the creation of the cardanno club wants to awaken young people in Bukavu City in the construction of this territory by instilling in them the spirit of creativity but also the spirit of innovation for the development of the latter.

[SOLUTION] Please describe your proposed solution.

Blockchain ignorance cardano and the absence of clubs in Bukavu City are the problems that negatively affect the students in Bukavu City in the sense that these young students do not know or ignore the blockchain cardano but also these young people are unaware that our current world is controlled through technology given these negative impacts, this is why we wanted to propose a solution to create clubs in Bukavu City which will have the advantages in the area of education, economy and technology. This project will involve all the young students from Bukavu City because they are ignorants in the subject of blockchain cardano but also in the matter of technology. Our project will have a positive impact because it solves the problem of ignorance in the area of blockchain and in the area of technology.

[IMPACT] Please define the positive impact your project will have on the wider Cardano community.

The creation of a Cardano club in Bukavu City has a positive and remarkable impact on the development and flourishing of the Cardano ecosystem due to the fact that the presence of this club in the environment will be able to:

· Stimulate students in Bukavu City to integrate into the block chain cardano ,

· This club will organize training on the blockchain in Bukavu City and help the population to keep their valuable documents and information on the block chain ,

· The club will introduce the youth of Bukavu City in the DRC to cardano opportunities through the project catalyst ,

·  It will facilitate the youth of Bukavu City in the DRC to appropriate technology and invest in it by initiating various training courses related to the handling of computer tools (introduction to new technology),

The target population of our project is made up of students from 2 universities of Bukavu town (ISDR Bukavu and UCB).

We thought of this category because it is made up of young people who always have a taste for learning and who need to be initiated to learn responsibilities and the destiny of the future world in their hands. This future generation must be updated to move forward with the pace of the world's evolution to facilitate sustainable development because without technology, no development is possible.

To measure the impact of our project, the following plans have been developed:

• Setting up a timeline of activities will allow us to know which activities or stages have been completed and which remain in the implementation of the project and this will allow us to regulate the acceleration of project activities.
• The development of an action plan: This will allow us to plan the activities to be carried out in time and space.
• An activities monitoring and evaluation team will help us regularly monitor the execution of our project and produce reports with tangible evidence testifying to the concrete implementation of the project.

[CAPABILITY & FEASIBILITY] What is your capability to deliver your project with high levels of trust and accountability? How do you intend to validate if your approach is feasible?

Cradano ecosystem can be summed up on several levels as follows:

• Firstly, we participated in several training sessions and workshops with Goma Wada Hub (Two Cardano summits including that of 2021 and that of 2022 and one of 2 training courses in block chain cardano ),
