Very happy to see how this is evolving. Ghana is a key place. @Alhassan_Yaminu also happy to see that you are talking to the govs of Events: Ghana + Harmony panel and Summit - #7 by Alhassan_Yaminu!

It was also a pleasure talking with you on telegram, and I look hope that Harmony will favour this proposal!

Note: @ONEBullValidator makes some very valid points. I would also go into more detail about the translation language, if any. If this does not make sense in your context perhaps reduce the amount and take that part out?

I would also love to hear what the Ghanean community thinks of this proposal, and how they can contribute!

Thank you @Alhassan_Yaminu for this proposal. Regional DAO’s are a having a great impact in communities across the world. Happy to see your passion for Harmony and wanting to bring the values to Ghana.

I would love to approve this DAO proposal for bootstrap funds, but first we need just a few more details.

You are following the Regional DAO guidelines. That is a necessary step towards a Regional DAO proposal being approved for the initial bootstrap grant. Currently, you’re missing two criteria:

  1. Setting up the DAO multisig
  2. Setting the date for the second election. Harmony encourages three month terms. And remember, if you’re not elected as a signer of the multisig, it does not mean that you cannot contribute!

Thank you for bringing this to Harmony, and I’m looking forward to the updates!
