East Africa is now embracing the new blockchain financial technology and cryptocurrencies to empower their local businesses, take charge of their finances and make governments more efficient.
Ancient civilizations and historical trade routes have always gotten their prominence from the East African tribes of Kenya and Ethiopia where trades of ivory, leather, wildlife animals, and birds throng have attracted the world’s awe as the natural diversity of mother nature’s pure habitat. This has not gone unnoticed as they are still very significant and appealing to tourists and poachers alike of the revered game reserves.

This has brought about an evolution of trading of other commodities in the region which seems very appealing to foreign investors.
But for the greed of political leaders who place their interests above that of the people, most of the East African nations have been plagued by war and chaos which subsequently led to the downturn of the various economies of the region and a significant loss of the value of their national fiat currencies.
Countries like Zimbabwe print fiat notes un-relentlessly, leading to having a worthless value in quadrillions and unlimited quantities. The same applies to some other countries in the Eastern African region that caused the masses to dwindle in their finances and economic power in the early twentieth century.
The New Breed Of East African Leaders
However, a new breed of politicians have come into the spotlight and ensured the economies of region were revived and put back in the limelight of powerful economic hubs throughout Africa.
It will fail me not to mention the strides of the government of Ethiopia and Rwanda, spearheading the activities of blockchain technological hubs in East Africa that have captured the attention of the world as well.

The innovative leaders in those countries saw the need to upgrade their economies by introducing blockchain technology to the management of their country’s infrastructure and also ensuring that their people understand the essence of the adoption of such technology.
This has manifested in the adoption of cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin, Ethereum, and even Cardano as means of payment by small and large businesses in the eastern region of the continent.
Sometime in the year 2020, the founder of Cardano Charles Hoskinson was spotted in Ethiopia launching the implementation of the Cardano blockchain master plan for the East African region. This would in no small way influence the activities in the region whereby awareness is created for the use of cryptocurrencies as a means of liberating the people financially and through true ownership.
Likewise, the country of Rwanda, with its unique history of war, genocide, reconciliation, and social progress ever since, has made gigantic strides in its quest for the use of blockchain technology and cryptocurrency in its efforts to develop its infrastructure, financial system, and governmental structure.
It would be noteworthy to say that the government allocated a sizable portion of its national budget for IT infrastructure and emerging technologies, where blockchain and cryptocurrencies are the focus of the budget.
This is not to say that countries like Kenya are asleep when it comes to the emerging technology of blockchain, as the nation is also rapidly deploying resources and having prominent partnerships with founders of various blockchain and cryptocurrency projects, to attain literacy and put its citizens in the forefront of the knowledge of emerging financial technologies.
The same can be said for the nation of Zambia as they have taken the step ahead to implement blockchain technology in their educational system to encourage their teaming youth population in the knowledge of the emerging technology.
Indeed the East African region has taken the bull by the horn to ensure her people are not left behind in the latest development in the crypto space and field of blockchain technology.
