This is a pretty glitzy pdf. Does anyone know which company or companies are working with the government on this initiative?

Thanks for posting this. It seems like a lot more work is required here than even in El Salvador. It's the second poorest country in the world, with only 15% of the population having electricity, and 11% with internet. The benefits to the people could be massive. I wonder how difficult it would be to set up a bitcoin based charity in the country that helped with getting the basics to the people, like food, clean water and shelter? I will look into what charities are already operating there.
