Financial support for sustainable development is fragmented and starts its journey a long way from local communities. This creates a system of misaligned incentives and results in the following problems.
The combination of all of the these problems results in capital being deployed highly inefficiently
By the time projects and funding arrive in communities, local stakeholders have little say or ownership in to what should be done.
Due to the non transparent nature of funding, high administrative costs are attached to and follow every transaction.
Money passes through many agents, across long distances, and over long stretches of time making it almost impossible to be completely transparent.
taamana seeks to revolutionize the social sector by creating a new sustainability economy that inverts the donor economy and establishes a profit incentive around the production and validation of Durable stories.
The more quality Durable Stories the more opportunities to earn.
Every transaction is immutably recorded in the system and open for public audit always
The system does not need trust because transactions are programmatically executed, and when you invest you invest in NFT’s that are what you see is what you get
Local stakeholders drive the actions that take place in their local communities, and any investment received is 100% unrestricted and can be spent however they want
Investments by supporters literally directly fund local stakeholders
The taamana economy grows on the contributions of its members. The more durable stories produced, validated, and traded, the more the value of the economy increases.
taamana is a centralised organisation run by a dynamic and passionate team. We fundamentally believe in the power of decentralised platforms to deliver stable reliable value to ecosystems, and are dedicated to evolve towards decentralisation over time.
the world’s best locally acting small to medium sized NGO’s and CBO’s to become the founding generation of the new sustainability economy.
We don’t know exactly how we’ll evaluate founding members. We have ideas about what makes a good NGO . But we’ll be sure to ask for your thoughts.
