Thanks, Adebayo.
We are actively building relationships with our identified stakeholders and aim to leverage these connections to further our mission. In some cases, we will utilize existing engagement and networks, such as those established by the APET, Africa CDCs, or agencies at the national level, to drive our mission.
Our members are spread throughout Nigeria, but we receive more interest from certain locations, such as Lagos and Abuja.
Curious to hear more about your thought and perfectives and your experience with the Nigerian context. Hopefully, we can chat.
What of a situation in which English happens to be the official language, but there is a local language that 30 million + people are speaking?
We’re open to funding translation projects in most languages with over five million speakers.
Thanks Timothy_Liptrot for the points and the docs, your input are noted and will going help us in our decision. thanks
👍
Wooh! Thank for this BrianTan, this will be very helpful. We hope other community builders can share their own experience.
Thanks for your comments, Joseph. Regarding your raised points.
Our bio aspect focuses primarily on advisory policies, such as guidelines and protocols, rather than improving the local domestication of already established international standards. Our AI aspect is more about getting African stakeholders impactfully engaged in the global forum that defines redlines and boundaries, where their participation is currently lacking, resulting in significant gaps.
I think effective local domestication/implementation is a problem of its own.
To determine the countries we will engage with initially, we have considered various factors to minimize potential challenges in our prioritization exercise. These factors include indices related to democracy, the rule of law, peace, and ease of doing business, among others.
