Problem Statement:
- Requesting funding from the Kusama Treasury for CHF 89,000 for the period Sep-Dec 2023 to support the Encointer team's work.

Significance:
- The Encointer team has scaled down but continues to deliver and has achieved various milestones such as conceptualizing a self-sustainable economy and integrating Encointer runtime into the fellowship repository.
- They have also worked on stabilizing and refactoring the Encointer mobile app, growing the Nyota community in Tanzania, preparing the community in Puerto Madryn, Argentina, and establishing an association of acceptance points in Zurich.

Proposed Solution:
- Requesting funding to support the Encointer team in maintaining and running the Encointer parachain and focusing on supporting and growing communities in the global south.

Expected Outcomes:
- Continued maintenance and operation of the Encointer parachain.
- Support and growth of communities in the global south where the Encointer technology can have a significant impact at low costs.
