Yesterday we had an interesting @FrontierTechHub Next Steps session with @FCDOGovUK colleagues on "using blockchain to make an impact". As well as ourselves @Disberse, we had representatives from @Datarella (Germany) and BenBen (Ghana). We had some thoughts! (1/?)

Following these, we joined a consortium to launch the 121 Project. We were responsible for setting up channels between individual donors in the Netherlands & UK and individual recipients via banks in Ethiopia & Malawi. The pilot was cancelled due to the Covid-19 pandemic. (2/3)
