Per the announcement, the partnership will focus on several goals, including providing money for blockchain pilots to open up the financial system to unbanked populations.
The partnership will also fund hackathons for tech developers servicing customers in emerging markets and establish blockchain boot camp roadshows in places where Mercy Corps is active.
The new partnership comes only weeks after Mercy Corps Ventures unveiled its Crypto for Good Fund II. The organization established the fund to create blockchain-based projects to promote global financial inclusion and increase climate resilience.
The fund’s initial version started in 2022 and had around 200 applicants
