Hello Cardano Community,
I am delighted to announce the successful completion of the Cardano Ghana CIP-1694 Governance Working Group Project. To mark this significant achievement, we organized an educational outreach event on November 23, 2024, aimed at promoting Cardano’s governance mechanism and welcoming newcomers to the ecosystem.
In collaboration with the Northern Regional Youth Network of Ghana, we showcased the opportunities within the Cardano ecosystem and guided participants on how to get involved. As part of the initiative, we introduced the CBCA course, encouraging attendees to enroll and deepen their blockchain knowledge. The meetup attracted an impressive audience of 50 eager participants.
The event was facilitated by @chosenfintech Mohammed Mustapha, a Cardano Ambassador and leader of the Cardano Ghana Community, along with @seiduziblim Seidu Ziblim, the project lead, and Mohammed Habib, co-founder of DeFi Africa.
