- **Problem Statement:** Lack of awareness and opportunities for local developers in Africa to engage with platforms like Polkadot, hindering the potential growth and adoption of Polkadot in the region.

- **Proposed Solution:** Hosting the Polkadot Savannah hackathon and Conference to provide a platform for African developers to learn about and contribute to the Polkadot ecosystem, with initiatives like campus tours, boot camps, and side events in multiple African countries.
- **Expected Outcomes:** Expected developer registrations of 300, around 200 project builders yielding 50 projects, 10-14 talks per day, management of 5 Parachains in Real Life (IRL), and qualitative goals like unifying Polkadot communities and introducing Substrate as a framework for blockchain development.
