The goal is to grow Polkadot's presence in Africa by creating a supportive community.
Africa has potential for Web3 adoption, especially in areas like remittances and cross-border payments.
The plan includes educational sessions, developer support, and community meetups.
The team consists of four members leading different areas like developer relations, operations, and content creation.
The strategy will focus on Nigeria, Kenya, Ghana, and Uganda.
Funding of $92,880 is requested for team compensation, events, utilities, transport, and marketing.
The project will run from January to June 2025, focusing on building a foundation for future growth.

I will recommend them to Get in the ambassadorship to get some funding to start the project, and then tap into the different marketing and events Bounty to cover the costs.

We are partial on this one. We support growth initiatives. However, we are not sure how much impact this initiative will bring

Maybe normally this might be a good target for Phragmen to boot up, but that program is not up and running yet.

PMEI has a lack of conviction in this as its unclear how this will create meaningful benefits. In general, we support growth in Africa as we believe its an incredible market for growth.

It's an important initiative for an important region, yet I don't find quantifiable ROI in the proposal. However, I know half of the members to be active in the community socials. So I think this initiative should be given the opportunity, and results be observed at the end of the 6 months.
