More Developers on Cardano

[GENERAL] Summarize your solution to the problem.

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

[GENERAL] Summarize your relevant experience.

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

[GENERAL] Requested funds in USD.

[IMPACT] Please describe your proposed solution.

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

[IMPACT] Please describe how your proposed solution will address the Challenge that you have submitted it in.

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

[IMPACT] What are the main risks that could prevent you from delivering the project successfully and please explain how you will mitigate each risk?

May 2022 Do a campaign to attract developers from existing developer community that is outside of Catalyst

May June 2022 Create a Haskell/ Plutus course

June 2022 Invite developers to a round table discussion both face to face and online

July 2022 Run a workshop on Plutus and Cardano and recruit for training

July -Sept 2022 Run the course

Sept 2022 - Present the cohort at a graduation event
