Shikapa is revolutionizing education in West Africa by empowering academic institutions, students, government officials and donors alike with a unified, transparent and measurable channel connecting the entire educational value chain. Shikapa is a carrier-agnostic mobile application that uses blockchain technology to drive and measure learning outcomes across sub-Saharan Africa. We achieve this by providing a transparent, quantifiable channel that delivers
relevant information to each respective stakeholder across the educational value chain – from students, teachers and administrators to government-level officials and donors at both the institutional and individual levels.

Blockchains are inherently decentralized, which allows us to facilitate the exchange of valuable data using the fastest, most secure technology available. Starting at the primary level, Shikapa tracks the progression of students through their academic careers, providing a continuous record of individual success that also serves to optimize the entire education system by delivering accurate, contextual insight into academic ROI.
