What is blockchain? When to use it? What are the possible use cases?

Excited to share the @UN_Innovation Network's 𝗣𝗿𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗹 𝗚𝘂𝗶𝗱𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝗕𝗹𝗼𝗰𝗸𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗶𝗻. You'll find definitions, decision tools and use cases from across the @UN.

"Are the early pioneer crypto investors impact investors in disguise?"

Intriguing thought by @LawrenceLundy that, ultimately, all blockchain-based innovations may be about empowerment by "giving people the tools to control their lives".

.@EthTurin set out as an in-person event to build sustainable solutions with local impact.

Then came COVID-19.

But as we know, #Ethereum is unstoppable.

Hoping to see more virtual hackathons of this kind happening where technological expertise meets local needs. #GlobalGoals

[the LAB @GIZ_Lab]

That’s us and our fellow hackers including @JoinViamo 🙌🙌

A team with GIZ colleagues is among the winners at the world’s biggest hackathon #WirvsVirus! The idea: providing ℹ️ about effective prevention measures against the spread of #COVID19 🧫🦠 by using a game-like telephone quiz: 📞 https://t.co/xk87onaODi #WorldHealthDay

The coronavirus pandemic proves: we need a resilient, inclusive and capable internet infrastructure.

Which digital policy responses exist? Which should we aim for?

Let's crowdsource. Contribute, and please RT!

Obviously our challenge looks at vulnerable populations- be it the elderly or people in remote locations in rural Africa - how can we ensure those without internet connection get the right information? Happy Hacking! #WirVsVirusHack

[the LAB @GIZ_Lab]

When over 42000 people are getting ready to hack to solve challenges of the corona pandemic, how could we not want to be a part of this?

As mentors and hackers, our team is virtually mingling at this weekend‘s hackathon. And we also submitted a challenge!

VIEL SPASS! 💭💭💭

[Africa Blockchain Alliance @AfriBlockchain]

As co-organizers of #ETHLagos, we re-affirm that this is part of the steps being taken to limit the spread and effects of COVID-19. The safety and health of our community is our primary focus. We are evaluating other formats and future dates with all stakeholders. Stay tuned!

[the LAB @GIZ_Lab]

As with many other events, it is of course sad to hear that ETHLagos needed to be canceled due to the current COVID-19 crisis. However, we will continue to work with our partners in Nigeria to make ETHLagos happen - be it on another date/in another format. #Power2020 #ETHLagos

[ETHLagos @EthLagos]

As global development of COVID-19 is still uncertain, we are now evaluating new dates and formats for the hackathon including options to hold it virtually. Until we come to a conclusion, we will work to make the foreseen training material available via online resources.

#ETHLagos is still accepting final hacker applications!

For many in Europe/Asia, travel may no longer be an option or only under strict regulation.

We are monitoring the situation on COVID-19 in Nigeria and are still looking forward to welcoming local participants!

Or is it not the best means currently available to bring services to those commonly left behind? What is the appropriate way to implement a digital identification system that protects privacy and the registereds’ rights?

[the LAB @GIZ_Lab]

Continuing the hot topic of #digitalID at #digitalkontrovers hosted by @BMZ_Bund w/ @zararah & Michael Kubach

Does digital identification really solve the issues it’s supposed to? Who really benefits when it’s applied in least developed countries for the world’s most vulnerable?

[the LAB @GIZ_Lab]

If you are interested in the use of blockchain for financing rural electrification, you should also check out @EthLagos, the upcoming hackathon in Nigeria that looks at blockchain for energy. We would love to see you there. #Power2020 (2/2)
