The document discusses blockchain adoption and social impact. It provides two case studies: (1) The World Food Programme used blockchain to distribute $1 million in food aid to refugees in Jordan, reducing banking fees by 98% and increasing accountability. (2) Amply combined mobile and blockchain technologies to improve public services for early childhood development in South Africa. The document then discusses challenges and opportunities for blockchain adoption in business, government, and society in the Middle East and North Africa region. It argues that blockchain can increase social impact by enabling direct transactions between consumers, researchers, and data-driven organizations.
