Why is it important?

Global dialogue has the opportunity to find its own way. Similar problems present similar opportunities for solutions.

What does success look like?

Problems from different continents converging on common ground. Solutions remove boundaries.

Key Metrics to measure

• Growth of on-chain activity due to the coordinated application of solutions in developing countries on different continents.

• Number of proposals including participants from developing countries from different continents.

• Number of technical implementations connecting efforts from developing countries from different continents.

• Projects and Dapps providing solutions to common problems in developing countries from different continents.

• Short-term solutions adopted by several developing countries on different continents.

• Number of events/workshops/sessions connecting efforts of developing countries from different continents.

• Number of ongoing initiatives with teams whose members come from developing countries from different continents (community members from different continents working together).

  Challenge brief

Background

Why is this Challenge needed?

• We need initiatives that increase communication, coordination and collaboration between developing countries on different continents.

• If Cardano intends to be a true catalyst for efforts to reduce the world's socio-economic inequalities, encouraging global dialogue between developing countries on different continents is key.

• The socio-economic problems that occur in developing countries follow common patterns not defined by geographic location. Borders do not contain the problems, they are a global language.

• Developing countries have common challenges. Let's solve them together.

Common challenges for all developing countries

You could buddy up with someone from outside your continent and address one or more of these common challenges:

• Awareness & Understanding
• Organisation & Governance
• Culture, Diversity & Inclusion
• Innovation & Decision-making
• Collaboration Tools & Platforms
• Incentivized Participation
• Cost & Efficiency
• Regulation & Compliance
• Security & Privacy

Examples of proposals you can submit to this challenge

• It is an open challenge that welcomes any proposal aimed at collaboration and co-innovation between developing countries from different continents. It can be any community-driven project, initiative, solution, tool or service. They can be, for example:

• Projects already successful in developing countries in a specific continent are expanded to developing countries in other continents.

• Solutions created by developing countries in a specific continent adopted by other developing countries in other continents.

• Joint research, education, dissemination and innovation projects between developing countries from different continents (podcasts, hackathons, webinars, educational resources, etc.).

• New technical implementations that provide solutions to common problems in developing countries on different continents.

The end goal

Let’s create an enriching, open and safe environment, where people from developing countries from different continents can find common ground and share knowledge, resources, skills, ideas and visions with one another. Let's encourage dialogue and cooperation among the developing countries of the world.
