1️⃣ First of all thank you @NikoG for this insightful retrospective and for highlighting the role of Regional Hubs in 2024! 🌍✨ Regarding **Celo Colombia** , first of all we’d like to clarify that our approved funding was **$38,000** , with **$10,000** allocated to the cCOP/USDT liquidity pool on Uniswap, leaving only **$28,000** for operations. Details can be found in our [approved proposal](https://forum.celo.org/t/celocolombia-dao-funding-and-operations-proposal/9297/20). That number differs in almost the half of the number you mentioned in the report. 🙏 Please if posible you can edit ✏ it in the initial post. > [@NikoG](#): > > Celo Colombia\* $50,000 Stablecoin Adoption - Developer Onboarding - Education and Awareness - Community Development ✅ We pursued **direct governance funding** as the **CeloPG budget was fully allocated for 2024**. Delaying until 2025 wasn’t an option for us, as it was essential to begin operations to support [**$cCOP** , Colombia’s first decentralized stablecoin 🇨🇴💰](https://forum.celo.org/t/launch-of-ccop-colombia-s-first-decentralized-stablecoin) 💢 While this was necessary to ensure timely execution, we look forward to being considered for future **CeloPG Budgets**. ### A few comments in your Observations for 2025 While implementing on-chain data points can enhance transparency and accountability, it is essential to recognize the diverse contexts in which DAOs operate globally. Factors such as **limited digital literacy** , **language barriers** , and **access to technology** can disproportionately affect DAOs in underrepresented regions. A uniform approach risks creating **unequal metrics** that don’t fully reflect the unique challenges and successes of DAOs in different parts of the world. A more inclusive framework should account for these disparities, ensuring fairness and accuracy in impact measurement. > [@NikoG](#): > > Implementing onchain data points will create a verifiable and transparent system, removing ambiguity and ensuring accountability. This approach will provide a clearer picture of the actual return on these initiatives and build greater trust in the program’s impact. Finally, we’d like to reamrk that we were **not consulted in the preparation of this report**. We’d love the opportunity to provide our perspective and contribute to these discussions, ensuring a more complete representation of our efforts. 💚🚀 --- _[View the full topic](https://forum.celo.org/t/celo-regional-daos-a-retrospective-on-2024/9619)._
