Lamine Diallo has recently completed a leg of his Africa Blockchain Tour. The tour traversed Eastern Africa with Meetups, forums, and discussions at various hubs, such as Ihub, and Strathmore University, Nairobi, Kenya and Carnegie Melon, Kigali Rwanda.

These meet ups created a flood of awareness on blockchain technology and its need, thus calling for follow up meetups which have been scheduled for the near future, alongside setting up some more teams for implementation of various platforms in those contexts.
