How can we increase adoption of Cardano in Ethiopia, IOG’s flagship country?
This is the total amount allocated to Grow Cardano adoption in Ethiopia.
Meaningful community engagement is critical for IOGs effort and vision for Cardano to succeed in Ethiopia.
Increased number of teams, quality of proposals, diversity of proposers, cooperation of proposers and teams.
Despite the long time presence of IOG and Cardano in Ethiopia
why?
Ethiopia is a diverse country with regions that have a great degree of autonomy to conduct their own affairs, create their own laws and rules, and employ tools that suit their needs. For Cardano to succeed in Ethiopia, we need to go beyond the capital, Addis Ababa, and the federal government, to where over 90% of the population lives.
Ethiopia has one of the oldest religious communities who need to upgrade their organizational and administrative structure to the realities of the 22nd century. For example the Ethiopian orthodox church has a membership of over 40 million people with a worldwide reach. It has its own educational institutions and certification standard that it needs to track. Tracking membership and resources.
Ethiopia has community organizations such as Iddirs that support 90% of the population in their time of need when the government is too weak to deliver. The introduction of DAOs could accelerate the adoption of Self Sovereign Identity (SSI) leading to building economic identity and reputation. Opportunities for Realfi implementation, unique laws allow for regenerating unproductive, unowned land,...etc.
Challenge rationale.
With a specific challenge related to Ethiopia the challenge team is able to:
How will this challenge help Cardano adoption?
How will this challenge advance Cardano's mission?
Tools, methods, processes, principles, and knowledge acquired in the process of mending Ethiopia’s broken system can be replicated wherever there is crisis brought on by broken systems.
