Welcome to the Yoma Ecosystem, thank you for checking us out! Our TF Meetings are every 2 weeks on the Tuesday at 9am EDT (see the ToIP Calendar for details). Yoma is a youth marketplace that is incubated by UNICEF in Africa. It enables young people to grow, learn, earn and thrive by completing impact challenges that benefit our environment and communities. All using a SSI-enabled digital CV and personalised learning environment.
We are youth-led, and the pace is pretty furious - all are warmly welcome. Don't forget to join our Slack Channel.

Mission
The Mission of the Yoma Ecosystem Task Force is to write a V1 Governance Framework for layers 2-4 by end September 2021. The ToIP TF will work alongside other Yoma stakeholders and will have youth agency and participation at its core.
...
- Governance model and operating model for the Yoma social enterprise (will be a Yoma legal entity instead of a group of collaborators), RLabs are currently the owner of the Yoma Platform, but separate legal enterprise will be set up which will have its own governance mechanism. Likely there will be a Yoma Foundation which will also be able to receive funds, under the Foundation will be a social enterprise. Different GF but linked. Will be the GA for the GF could be either.)
- Convening and managing on the ground youth engagement. (Current approach to UX is that we have 3 reference groups of young people, 1 for UX, 2 from Better Together Africa, 3rd reference group for youth on the move, young migrants. A sub-set will support us as reference group for GF)
- Writing Legal agreements or contracts
- Future maintenance, operation and iterations of the governance framework
- Other language versions of the documents
