East African Catalyst developers

There is need to build a the developer ecosystem that helps them to have a sense of community and a place they can share ideas

Working with a team of developers from the Plutus Pioneer Program in East Africa, CAs VCAs, ED tech

[IMPACT]

Adding more developers on Cardano will held in creation of more scripts for automation, the building of frameworks dashboards DeFi tokenization

The increased number of developers from this region will:

A. Attract developers from outside the community to participate in Catalyst

• increase knowledge base for scripting and frameworks

B. Motivate developers to keep building and to have staying power

C. Create a sense of community and conversations pertinent to their issues

Developers are in high demand and can be difficult to keep interesting in new projects. WE need to be able to have enough incentive to attract them
