Traditionally, we've been mere consumers of cloud services, relinquishing control over our data and infrastructure to large companies. However, with ThreeFold's autonomous technology, the paradigm shifts. Now, individuals can host their cloud infrastructure with ease, without the need for technical expertise.

Last Friday, we were pleased to formally and publicly announce Dunia Yetu, together with Dr. Nkundwe M. Mwasaga, the Director General of Tanzanias ICT Commission, and Arthur Brock, co-founder of Holochain. The announcement was made in front of an audience of representatives from the Tanzanian Government and the tech community of Dar Es Salaam. More than 200 people have signed up, expressing their interest in taking part.
<br/>
Ideated in November 2023 between ThreeFold and a group of developers and tech innovators from Dar Es Salaam, Dunia Yetu, which means Our World in Swahili, is a collaborative and co-owned movement to redefine the digital landscape in Tanzania and East Africa, empower coders, spur economic development, and build a self-reliant sovereign digital ecosystem for a better digital future.
<br/>
In the future, Dunia Yetu will introduce coding academies to empower startups and entrepreneurs in Dar Es Salaam and beyond to build the apps of the future faster, more secure, more reliable, and built on top of local infrastructure deployed in Tanzania.
<br/>
_“We believe young people in this country have all the talent to build together their digital future and we want to empower them as much as we can,”_ said ThreeFold co-founder, Kristof De Spiegeleer.
<br/>
![Image](duniayetulaunchdar.png)
<br/>
_The government of Tanzania represented by "The Director-General of the ICT Commission, Dr Mkundwe Mwasaga has fully endorsed the roll out and establishment of such a nationwide internet._
<br/>
Further, alongside the ICT Commission, we will create a network of distributed innovation hubs providing space for events, coding academy workshops and collaborative projects.
<br/>
_“We are building these centers, starting with six regions in Tanzania, to ensure that we can create an environment where talented young people even in the countrys rural areas can provide their innovation,”_ said Dr. Mwasaga of the ICT Commission.
<br/>
At the event, Holochain co-founder Arthur Brock also presented, and will be part of this deployment. Holochain is a world-renowned project that enables decentralized applications to be developed without recourse to blockchain technology, thus achieving greater security and performance.
<br/>
Said Arthur Brock, co-founder of Holochain, _“We have been building our framework for decentralized applications for years to support new social applications across the globe, and we are delighted to share as much of our knowledge as we can to coders and developers of Tanzania who want to build a new digital future.”_
<br/>
![Image](holochainevent.png)
<br/>
Some of the first Tanzanian community projects involved in Dunia Yetu include Chatafisha, led by Victor Muhagachi and David Machuche, which aims to regenerate marginalized communities through innovative technologies, and Sarufi, led by Kalebu Gwalugano, which builds developer-centric conversational AI for African languages.
<br/>
In fostering Dunia Yetu, we together aim to catalyze a wave of transformative innovation throughout East Africa, starting with Tanzania. This collaborative venture not only aligns with the visionary leadership of H.E. Dr. Samia Suluhu Hassan, President of Tanzania, but also signifies a powerful commitment from the ICT Commission, ThreeFold, Holochain, and the vibrant tech community of Dar Es Salaam and Tanzania at large.
<br/>
As we embark on this journey, we invite stakeholders, partners, and enthusiasts to join hands with us in shaping a digital ecosystem that propels Tanzania and East Africa towards a brighter, tech-driven future. Together, let us chart new horizons and amplify the impact of Dunia Yetu across the realms of technology, entrepreneurship, and community development.

**A Sovereign Economic Zone**
<br>
ThreeFold recently formalized its partnership with [ZICTIA](https://zictia.go.tz/), the Zanzibar ICT Infrastructure Agency, on behalf of the Zanzibar Government, to create the worlds first 100% Digital Free Zone - accessible and affordable for all. Together we are creating a streamlined platform where any entrepreneur, digital nomad or company can obtain a digital company license, a bank account supporting both fiat and cryptocurrencies, and handle their legal requirements and taxes, all in one place. The aim is to simplify the process of establishing and managing a business entity in the digital realm. This Digital Free Zone project is part of the Government of Zanzibars wider initiative to shift its economy from being largely dependent on tourism to embracing other sectors, namely IT.
<br/>
The collaboration was formally announced by Zanzibars President, Dr. Hussein Ali Mwinyi, at ThreeFolds Africa Regenerative Future Summit in July 2023 which brought together a group of passionate entrepreneurs and actors working on innovative planet-first projects in Africa. The President promised to establish the Digital Free Zone from a regulatory perspective, with the goal of developing local skills, bringing about major changes in the ICT sector, and creating job opportunities to increase the nations income. See his announcement in the video below.
<br/>
As the worlds first Digital Free Zone, this special economic zone will be powered by ThreeFolds innovative tech stack, operating as the digital backbone for this innovative policy sandbox. ThreeFolds latest technology, which is currently being fine tuned, the Digital Twin, will be launched as part of the Free Zone membership. The Digital Free Zone (DFZ) Digital Twin application provides a centralized interface for accessing all free zone features and users will own 100% of the data and digital capabilities. Merging traditional business structures with groundbreaking technology, the free zone will be a pioneering hub for business, fostering an ecosystem that is adaptive, resilient, and conducive to growth. It will be one of the first environments where Decentralized Autonomous Organizations (DAOs) can be legally established and operated. Some of the ThreeFold team is based in Zanzibar and working to make the Free Zone live by the end of 2024. You can be among the first to embark on the OurWorld Digital Free Zone journey - explore more [here](https://freezone.ourworld.tf/).
<br/>
This new and exciting partnership between ThreeFold, ZICTIA, and the Zanzibar Government also aims to improve the internet for the entire island using ThreeFold technology. This future project will allow Zanzibar to establish its own autonomous and sovereign internet, empowering citizens to take back control of their data and digital lives. ThreeFold technology also serves as a foundation on which a wide array of impactful projects can be hosted on top of. This partnership is therefore also focused on exploring incubation opportunities on the island to support local communities and entrepreneurs to create their own projects and digital solutions. The goal is to create a sovereign internet created for Zanzibar by Zanzibar.

Yesterday, some of the team and friends of the project visited IIT Madras Zanzibar Campus to meet and explore possibilities of collaboration. For those not familiar, IIT Madras is globally recognized and one of the top/prestigious technical institutes in India and they have recently opened a campus here in Zanzibar.
<br/>
Afterward, at [Zanzalu](https://zanzalu.super.site/), ThreeFold co-founder Kristof spoke alongside Matthew Schutte of Holochain on public goods and how to build a new application layer on top of a sovereign infrastructure co-owned by us all. Zanzalu is a spin-off of Zuzalu, the two-month pop-up city founded by Vitalik Buterin held in Montenegro last year.

This Monday, ThreeFold, in collaboration with [H.E.R DAO](https://www.her-dao.xyz/), orchestrated a meetup in Dar Es Salaam that brought together a group of more than 50 students, developers, and members of the tech community. The gathering unfolded as a platform for insights, discussions, and actionable steps aimed at fostering digital sovereignty and inclusive innovation in Tanzania.
### **Interactive Workshop and Technical Demos | Deploying a Sovereign Internet Infrastructure**
Kristof De Spiegeleer, co-founder of ThreeFold, shared key insights into deploying a sovereign Internet in Tanzania. He highlighted the necessity of such an infrastructure and outlined actionable steps for the community on how to connect capacity and build on top of this transformative Internet platform.
<br>

<br>
Kristof also presented how this vision will be brought to life in Tanzania through the Dunia Yetu initiative - A collaborative movement led by ThreeFold, in partnership with the Tanzanian ICT Commission, Holochain, and the Dar Es Salaam tech community, to reshape the digital landscape in Tanzania and East Africa.
### **Hands-On Demos**
Interested developers and tech-advanced attendees were treated to practical demonstrations of how to connect hardware to a sovereign Internet infrastructure, led by some members of the community and supported by Kristof.
<br>
The session continued with a demonstration of the deployment process for this Internet framework, enabling them to learn and better understand the process, while being able to discuss and ask questions. Some of the attendees were then onboarded with the manual and invited to join our various communication channels for support, as needed.
### **Empowering Diversity and Inclusivity with H.E.R. DAO, “If We Want The Future To Look Like Us, WE Have To Build It.”**
Tracey Bowen (founder) introduced H.E.R. DAO, a dynamic developer DAO with a strong commitment to championing diversity and inclusion in Web3. H.E.R. DAO focuses on increasing diversity in the blockchain ecosystem, especially empowering women that are not represented enough in the field. H.E.R. DAO's objective is to increase diversity in the blockchain ecosystem through hackathons, bootcamps, conferences, and grant programs.
<br>
Tracey also showcased how attendees could connect with the DAO's offerings, benefit from their educational resources (free online courses, scholarships, etc.) and contribute to the mission of fostering diversity and innovation while building products that generate revenue while enhancing equity for everyone.
<br>
We're looking forward to collaborating more with Tracey and H.E.R. DAO. In the meantime if you'd like to learn more, you can find info on H.E.R. DAO here : [her-dao.xyz](https://www.her-dao.xyz)
### **Building Momentum, Building Community**
The event drew an excited crowd, including members of the tech community, developers and curious students eager to contribute to the envisioned sovereign digital future in Tanzania.
<br>
It enabled participants to network, share ideas, get answers to their many questions and immerse themselves in the project's vision. This community spirit reflected the overall theme of the meeting, highlighting the power of collaborative efforts to shape a new digital landscape for Dar Es Salaam and the wider Tanzania.
<br>

<br>
The community's interest continues to grow stronger and stronger 200 members already in [our Whatsapp community group](https://chat.whatsapp.com/DAedmvshxCD850WjJ3mUn8) and we look forward to collaborating to make this vision a reality.
<br>
Overall, The ThreeFold X H.E.R. DAO meetup was a convergence of minds, ideas, and actions, marking the next step towards cultivating a digital ecosystem that is not only future-facing but also inclusive and accessible. The commitment to building a better sovereign future in Tanzania echoed throughout, setting the stage for collaborative initiatives that will drive positive change in the region.
### **Next Steps**
The team is working to grow Dunia Yetu by expanding the community involvement in the project. This involves creating a robust online presence, organizing further interactive workshops and events, and better defining community roles.
<br>
Tangible next steps include:
<br>
- Launching Dunia Yetu web presence
- Better defining participation opportunities and gathering interest / feedback from the community
- Deploying 100 nodes in Dar es Salaam
- Inviting and empowering developers to deploy on top of this local infrastructure
- Gathering a Coding Academy team
- Creating a curriculum for workshops, training sessions, and educational programs as part of the Coding Academy
- Establishing the first six innovation hubs across Tanzania with the ICT Commission
<br>
*Stay tuned for next steps and events! We will communicate further in the coming weeks on how the community can begin to take action.*!

This weekend, some of the team will be joining [Student Weekend](https://lemonade.social/event/66485bc7f40139b832e05abc/info) at [Zanzalu](https://zanzalu.super.site/), a five-week pop-up city event in Zanzibar spun off from Zuzalu in Montenegro last year. It aims to connect African builders, explore alternative forms of city organization, and foster a growth ecosystem.
<br/>
At Student Weekend, we will show the audience how to deploy workloads on top of ThreeFold's decentralized cloud infrastructure and participate in an ideathon, which then leads to a hackathon in mid-June where participants will try to build and deploy their ideas on top of ThreeFold nodes.
<br/>
*An exciting opportunity to interface with local builders and showcase ThreeFold technology!*
