Community Purpose


As the only and the official Ghana Community on the blokchain we have the objective of Making Steem Known across the entire nation and by so doing bring Ghanaians onboard the blockchain to invest in the blockchain. We also have the goal of alleviating poverty which is a part of the SDGs globally and this would be through seeking of financial freedom for the average Ghanaian through the steemit blockchain.

By seeking out self-sufficiency through consistent powerups with the official steem-ghana account we can in the get the support of the SDG rolling accordingly. Ghana as a developing nation and current statistics also points to the fact that there is high unemployment rate meaning many of our well educated and knowledgeable graduates are staying home.

By getting these individuals on to the blockchain, they can focus their efforts here to help support the growth of the blockchain as well as help themselves and their families. Promo-steem Ghana as a community will ensure that all these individuals are brought together and nurtured to success.

Our community also has the purpose of serving as a the connection for all Ghanaians on the blockchain irrespective of region or district and with steem-ghana as a refuge all members old and new we can together grow as a big family under one umbrella.



Community Team


Our team is made up of 3 country representatives and a 5 members committee team. The coming together of members and reps to form the committee is to make it easier to reach the entire community populace and also make it easier for concerns to be addressed when they arise.

The number enables us to share duties across board so the community is co-run by members themselves. Our 5 member team have numerous duties and responsibilities ranging from checking of plagiarism, coming up with contests, community engagement and commenting, support for newbies etc.

Works such as reports, verification of newbies, guiding of newbies, curation with various accounts including the official steem-ghana account and curator accounts are done by country representatives together as a team to ensure that every posts get some form of reward.

Community leaders also organize meetups, meetings on discord and zoom and account for the active and inactive members as well as the general overview of the community.



Community Curation


The main community curation comes from the steem-ghana account which goes around on a daily basis rotated by community leaders to vote deserving posts and encourage membership. As it stands now with support from the account and community leaders the average Ghanaian steemian can receive $1.00 support on their post. Please find below the details of the steem-ghana account.

Steem-Ghana Steem Power
Own 9,224.40
Delegation 10,429.78
Total 19,654.18

We are also privileged to have the support of the tier 2 booming support program for the month of October which is helping the community stay afloat. There is also the steemcurator04 africa support program run by country representatives to support Ghanaian steemians. This is on rotation every 4 days with other African Countries.



Plagiarism & Abuse


Plagiarism goes against all that the steem blockchain stands for because of which we have made it one of our top most priorities to always check plagiarism and abuse of any kind and deal with defaulters accordingly. We have also begun a new initiative where culprits are made known to the community from time to time to deter others from such acts.

Our zero tolerance policy against plagiarism and abuse has ensure that the community is devoid of it and these few once that try it every now and then are caught and punished accordingly. Habitual abusers are blacklisted from the community.



Engagement and Commenting


As already stipulated leadership have delegated responsibilities accordingly amongst themselves including the team members which ensures that work is carried out effectively. However Engagement and commenting is something that is on everyone's plate.

All leaders ensure that not a single post goes by without a comment or support on it. We have also made it such that members are to engage others accordingly ensure that it is not spamming but good and healthy engagement. This is critical to warranting support from the community curation system.

Engagement motivates users to write more and share more, it brings the sense of appreciation and the sense of belonging. And so we will continue to uphold this even as we comment, follow and resteem each other's good content.



Plans and Update


This month Ghanaian steemians were able to hold a meetup and we are hoping to have an even bigger one in the coming days. Steem Ghana also continues to hold is Friday meetings where members meet leadership and bring their concerns for addressing. The recent event was held on Friday 22 of October, 2021.

The community is also never lacking on updates and contests. You can always find them pinned to the community and are updated at regular intervals. We are also keen on recruiting more students and graduates who would grasp the concept of the blockchain quicker and easier helping them to assimilate.

We also have programs in place that is aimed at helping more women join the blockchain and assimilate easier through more dedicated guidance and support. Our steem Vlog is also going to continue where members participate and tell great things about steemit which helps in our promotional activities.



Promotion


It would interest you to know that Ghanaians are some of the most active steemians across the entire blockchain who are fervently dedicated to promo works and continue to do this regular bringing wonderful ideas into fruition which others also pickup and follow suit.

An epitome of this is the new steem ID cards initiative which came from Ghanaians and was picked up by Ghanaians promoters and is now a a crucial part of promo for all other countries such as Nigeria, Pakistan etc.





We are also privileged to have greeters as part of our leadership which makes the assimilation process through the newcomers achievement program easier for Ghanaians. On a daily basis newbies are brought onboard and are guided through the process and with an update on SUT.

We are also proponents of steem branded assets for promotional activities because of which most if not all of our members have the various steem T-shirts, ID cards, complementary cards etc and on a regular basis we always welcome new ideas and new ways of doing things.



Club 5050


We are proud to announce that the majority of Ghanaians if not all are embracing the #club5050 movement and many of them have already powered up a good amount on steem in response to this. The commitment shown is enormous and from our recent meeting on it many more have pledged to join the course and help champion the initiative in Ghana.

All our leaders have already committed to club5050 and have powered up half of all their earnings from this week and will continue to do so in the upcoming days. We are optimistic of the brilliant days ahead and are really happy with the current statistics.

We plan to continuously motivate members to commit to this program through regular updates and discussions during our meetings. Again, members who commit to the program will have a higher chance of been selected for community curation support.


Why Support Us


In addition to our commitment to #club5050 we are also ensuring that as the only Ghanaian community on the blockchain we make steem known to all Ghanaians and bring more Ghanaians onboard, it would be difficult for us to do this work without your support or help as it would help sustain our community help members grow towards self-sufficiency and in line with the aims and objectives of our community.

Supporting us also means that we get to retain the many Ghanaians been brought in on a daily basis and the success of our various projects in the pipelines getting supports from even outside the blockchain and steem becoming a brand name in Ghana.



Conclusion


We are truly grateful for the love shown our community since our inception here and for your support in the community of the month program since it started. As we look to the beginning of a new month we are optimistic of the new fragrance it comes with and with the wonderful changes instigated. We hope our application is considered even as we continue to do our very best in all instances to support the growth of the blockchain.
