ABSTRACT
The Africa ApeCoin Community proposal aims to fund and support the growth of the web 3 community in Africa, involved in various online and offline activities throughout the continent.
The group is requesting a monthly allocation of $ 10 000 , 00 in ApeCoin (APE Token) for a year to facilitate their community-building initiatives and events, including compensating community managers, delegation leaders, content creators, developers and supporting hackathons and ThankAPE initiatives, as well as support a charity or benefit for the under privileged.
MOTIVATION
The AAC community managers have become actively involved in the ApeCoin ecosystem, contributing to both online and offline community building. They have demonstrated a commitment to the growth of the Ape Ecosystem by hosting various events, participating in DAO activities, and managing an online presence. The requested funding aims to further amplify these efforts and foster the growth of this vibrant community.
RATIONALE
By supporting communities like the Africa ApeCoin Community or AAC, we can further the decentralisation and grassroots growth of the ApeCoin Ecosystem. This community’s activities align with the greater mission and their efforts will enhance the visibility and awareness of web 3 , benefiting the entire ecosystem.
SPECIFICATIONS
The AAC will use the allocated funds to:
Compensate community managers and delegation leaders, acknowledging their valuable contribution to the community.
Support various content artists, creators and developers producing engaging digital assets about ApeCoin, the ApeCoin DAO and the AAC community’s activities including ThankAPE initiatives.
Support 1 African community/charity project, including fund raising and growth support.
Hold regular Twitter Spaces (minimum 2 per month)
The community’s DAO representative, known as “BojangleGuy” and “ 0 xWebMoss”, will continue to attend key Ape meetings and contribute to forums, further integrating the community into the wider Ape family.
Maintain a Treasury with transparent records of expenditure.

OVERALL COST
The total cost of this proposal to the DAO is $ 120 000 . 00 in ApeCoin (APE Token) over a year. The long-term gains expected from community growth, increased web 3 adoption and awareness of the ApeCoin Ecosystem and the ApeCoin DAO.

Expense Allowance $ 2000 . 00 per month, will accrue any unused funds

The Growth Fund will be used to support IRL events, Charities, Hackathons and other IRL events to further the growth of the ApeCoin community in Africa. This will be reserved to give back to the community and build initiatives with ThankAPE and other ApeCoin DAO initiatives.

Dear ApeCoin Community
Thank you for your initial feedback, overall feeling is positive. I’ve asked to withdraw this AIP for the interim, so we can better structure it, and provide an outline and breakdown of initiatives and growth opportunities we could utilize. Please check back for updates or follow our community channel in discord. Thanks 0 xWebMoss

Africa is a very big continent with a lot of different countries and languages. This is not narrow enough and no data or proof of work presented. This DAOP is not about managment but inclusivity. I am personally do not looking for any ever.

Hello @TheFatherOfAllStorms, thanks for your feedback, and agreed, Africa is a large continent. Currently we have almost 10 ApeCoin DAO members from South Africa, Ghana, Nigeria and Cape Verde for example, and hope to gain more members from different countries as we grow the group organically.
We have identified different events like EthAccra, EthKenya and ETHCapeTown as hackathon events we would like to get involved in and support, either as prize sponsors of the events or by aiding teams to attend and “hack” at these events.
Apologies but I dont quite follow your meaning here, may I kindly ask you to elaborate.
This DAOP is not about managment but inclusivity. I am personally do not looking for any ever.

ApeCoinDAO funded primary school in Ghana Withdrawn AIPs
Still working on this but wanted to post a few updates! I have been in daily contact with John trying to work out government logistics as well as getting an architect to draw up plans for the school so that we can show the DAO what will be built and get a more exact cost/budget put together.
I would love your feedback on this new iteration of this idea! Also please feel free to DM with any questions or if you feel like you could help in any way with this.

Hey! You all have been building this on discord for a while!
Can you share more about your journey here and how the AAC is coming together?
0xWebMoss: Gm @0xSword
My personal journey with web3 started in 2019 when I attended my very first EthGlobal EthCapeTown hackathon event. As a developer, I was interested in web3, but truly fell in love with it after that.
It’s been a four year adventure since, with me attending as many virtual or online hackathons as I could muster, building different projects, learning, growing and meeting new frens in the web3 space. One thing that has always been very attractive to me is the way the web3 community comes together, across borders and seas, to create and innovate together…there’s no boundaries except the ones you imagine.
The Africa ApeCoin Community is still finding our feet, we have recently started a discord and twitter channels and gathering our troops within the ApeCoin DAO.
There has been some discussion around the official name to use and we would ideally like the AAC to be seen as an “Empowered by ApeCoin” initiative, I believe that should be our main ethos, to empower people to begin their web3 journey, help them grow and get involved.
At present we have a few members from South Africa, Ghana, Nigeria and Cape Verde that I’ve identified, and their interests or skills include artists, writers, developers and all are DAO members currently.
We have a possible ThankApe initiative in mind that we would like to work on as a community, this will support AIP 251 by @BojangleGuy which just passed, for more info please see

This is awesome. I have a few ideas to help spread ApeCoin awareness and adoption in Nigeria and Africa. There are so many talented folks in Africa who will leverage the power of ApeCoin to do something magnificent.

Firstly, thanks to your post here, I just learned about & am very interested in AAC!
Over the past two years, some of my most treasured digital art NFTs are by artists from Nigeria & Ghana. So much talent from the region is so often overlooked.
Looking forward to following the journey of this idea. :handshake:
