Challenge brief

Non Governmental Organizations (NGOs) have become key actors in responding to poverty and related suffering in developing countries. NGOs play a leading role in providing healthcare and education. The non-profit sector continues to grow rapidly in the developing world.

NGOs exist for a variety of purposes, usually to further the political or social goals of their members. Examples include improving the state of the natural environment, encouraging the observance of human rights, improving the welfare of the disadvantaged, or representing a corporate agenda. They can work to promote social or political change on a broader scale or locally.

NGOs play a critical part in developing society, improving communities and promoting citizen participation.

The Cardano NGO support for the developing countries is mainly for income generating activities such as manufacturing of raw materials to add value and then provide employment for many, and also for mechanized agriculture to attract more young people into agriculture and other sectors of economic development.

The NGOs, after implementation of each project, will provide reports for auditing and accountability from funded projects.

Income Generating Activities for NGOs:

Income generating activities that NGOs will be getting proposals from are also to display how Cardano blockchain can be taught amongst the members of the NGO towards the promotion of ADA wallets and use.
