According to the official blog post of John O’ Connor, the Director of African Operations at IOKH, they plan to launch trial projects across countries in Africa aiming on making Cardano the blockchain they will be using to build the land register systems. According to O’ Connor this cooperation will be only the first step from their side and they plan to use Cardano for many other projects in the future as well after the successful implementation of this project.
According to the initiative representatives, this is an ambitious plan which requires a long-term hard work from the government, NGOs, and the private sector industries which need to work all together for the project to be successful. The first step in the implementation of the project will naturally be investing in education and raising awareness on blockchain technologies in Africa.
