Cardano and Smart City Awareness

[IMPACT]

Our audience is the residents of Entebbe City that will be in the sandbox environment that will be built to function on the Cardano blockchain.

Our impact will be enlightening and educating residents about the smart city project and use cases on the Cardano blockchain - these include DID integration, payment platform for utilities, savings and loan products, land registries and property rights. We will raise awareness about Cardano and the future use cases of the smart city.

We address two KPIs of the challenge directly:

1. Local impact (measurable through user activity and reach) - Our event will be held in Entebbe City, the second-largest city in Uganda. We will directly inform and educate residents of the city about the possibilities of Cardano. The municipality of Entebbe is on a mission to create a smart city powered by blockchain technology. EMURGO and Adanian Labs have partnered to fund African startups and Adanian Labs has a MOU with Entebbe City to drive the creation of the smart city. https://emurgo.io/blog/how-emurgo-africa-and-adanian-labs-will-help-100-african-startups-adopt-cardano

1. Local partnerships formed (size of institution + influence) - We are promoting and educating people about the Adanian Labs and Entebbe Smart City project. We are in direct contact with potential future users of the Cardano blockchain. The Mayor of Entebbe is a big supporter and the Municipality of Entebbe is behind the project.

We will communicate the success of our project through social media - we will make recordings and share photos from the workshops held.

The project is very simple - execution is a matter of following the roadmap and communicating the action items and goals.

Our biggest challenge will be spreading the word about the workshops and having people attend the event - we have various strategies planned to spread the word about the workshop (social media campaign, word of mouth, street adverting) so we can attract people to the event.

Beyond the above, we do not foresee any major challenges or risks to delivering this project successfully.
