Please describe your proposed solution.

Due to our digital approach, we do not have high running costs and can enable access from around the globe. RFFX itself is running self-sufficiently on its own funding from Fund 8 funded proposal to Translate Catalyst Resource and Cardano to Swahili, so these funds will not be used by our team. They are solely to give all hubs a starting ground of resources.

Please describe how your proposed solution will address the Challenge that you have submitted it in.

Since, the dRep information currently is mainly in English a multilingual resources hub will help to communicate the information to reach the community in a an effective way. This hubs will also conduct online and offline meetups in different time zones to get dRep going in other minor zones as of currently the IOG-led dRep events mainly take place in the US and European time zones.

What are the main risks that could prevent you from delivering the project successfully and please explain how you will mitigate each risk?

The main challenge we see is that some terms and vocabularies may not have direct language translations and how we are planning to mitigate that is by giving simple relevant explanations of the terms that could easily be understood by a layman.

Please provide a detailed plan, including timeline and key milestones for delivering your proposal.

The timeline is set to be of the duration of 6 months:

• 1 Month will be specific for the assembling of a team of language ambassadors responsible for translating the existing dRep resource.
• Month 2 and 3 will be for the creation of the website and conducting online and offline meetup, outreach discussions of the resources and providing updates shared by IOG on dRep in multiple languages.
• Month 4 and 5 will be for conducting online and offline meetup, outreach discussions of the resources and providing updates shared by IOG on dRep in multiple languages.
• Month 6 will be for the gathering of feedback and updates from the team before finalization of the project.

Please provide a detailed budget breakdown.

There are five main areas for which we ask funds:

1. Create and pay for the website-domains + design of different language communities. (14 * 50$ = 700 $)
2. Provide socio-economic incentive to develop meaningful connections and drive collaboration. (14* 500$ = 7000 $)
3. Assist highly motivated people that are in precarious situations, especially from countries with low general income. (7000 $)
4. Resource to pay for materials that each hub needs to work efficiently. (14*200$ = 2800 $)
5. Project manager (1500 $)

Total budget 20000 $

Please provide details of the people who will work on the project.

If you are funded, will you return to Catalyst in a later round for further funding? Please explain why / why not.

Yes, If there will be need for us to tackle some other challenges that arise as we continue building in the Cardano ecosystem and impacting individuals world wide.

Please describe what you will measure to track your project's progress, and how will you measure these?

1. Amount of recorded online dRep meetups in different languages
2. Amount of hubs formed.
3. Size of each hub.
4. Amount of shared content.
5. Amount of people onboarded.
6. Amount of people assisted in precarious situations.

What does success for this project look like?

All fourteen hubs are running a low-cost and self-sustaining portal for dRep education, information, collaboration and support.

Please provide information on whether this proposal is a continuation of a previously funded project in Catalyst or an entirely new one.

Its a continuation of a previously funded proposal https://cardano.ideascale.com/c/idea/404268 which is translating Cardano and Catalyst resources to swahili aiming at creating multilingual resources for a sustainable Cardano ecosystem.
