Why Every Child Should Learn to Code.

Laying the Foundations of Blockchain Governance for Africa.

Giiyo Tech has reached a pivotal milestone in its journey to empower communities with transformative technology. This December, our Founder represented GiiyoTech at the Cardano Constitutional Convention in Nairobi, Kenya, where leaders and changemakers came together to deliberate and sign the historic Cardano Constitution. This milestone marks GiiyoTech’s role in shaping the future of blockchain governance in Africa.

The Road to Nairobi

Before this defining moment, Giiyo Tech hosted synthesis workshops in Douala, Cameroon, to gather community insights on blockchain governance. These workshops, conducted with the support of organizations such as Sizo Portal and DIT (Disruptive IT), ensured that the voices of Cameroonians were included in the global conversation about decentralization.

Our journey continued in Nairobi, Kenya, from November 10th to 11th, 2024, when we participated in the synthesis workshops that further refined Africa’s contributions to the Cardano Constitution. These events solidified GiiyoTech’s role as a key advocate for community-driven blockchain solutions, positioning us as a leader in fostering inclusive governance.

A Milestone in Blockchain Advocacy.

The signing of the Cardano Constitution on 6th December 2024 is a monumental achievement for Giiyo Tech. It is not just about participating in a global initiative but about laying the foundations for blockchain governance that reflects African realities. This milestone represents:

• Inclusivity: Ensuring that the needs and challenges of underrepresented communities, especially in Cameroon, are part of the global blockchain narrative.
• Education: Demonstrating the importance of blockchain literacy as a tool for empowering individuals to make informed decisions.
• Collaboration: Building partnerships across organizations and regions to create a unified vision for decentralized governance.

Transforming Blockchain into Local Solutions

Throughout the convention, the focus remained on translating blockchain into practical applications for African communities. Discussions included solving issues like microtransactions (a persistent challenge in Cameroon) and ensuring transparency in governance through secure, decentralized systems.

For Giiyo Tech, this milestone emphasizes a systems-based approach to innovation. Our philosophy is simple: use what we have to build what we need. By leveraging local tools, resources, and knowledge, we ensure that blockchain technology is not just accessible but also relevant to the everyday realities of African communities.

The Role of Support Organizations

None of this would have been possible without the unwavering support of our partners, including Sizo  and DIT (Disruptive IT). These organizations have been instrumental in amplifying Giiyo Tech’s mission to bring blockchain education and governance to underserved communities.

Empowering the Future

Giiyo Tech remains committed to:

• Hosting blockchain literacy workshops to introduce youth and women to the transformative potential of decentralized technologies.
• Building programs that focus on real-world blockchain applications for African communities.
• Strengthening collaborations to ensure that no voice is left out in the governance process.

Our participation in the Cardano Constitutional Convention is more than just a milestone—it is a declaration of our intent to drive Africa’s blockchain revolution. Through education, collaboration, and innovation, Giiyo Tech is setting the stage for a future where technology empowers communities, not divides them.

Looking Ahead

With this historic moment, Giiyo Tech is more inspired than ever to continue its mission. Together with our partners, communities, and supporters, we are building a blockchain future that belongs to all Africans.
