Vocdoni's project substantially contributes to financial inclusion and social impact through its innovative use of blockchain technology for digital voting. Here are specific ways Vocdoni is making a difference in these areas, along with the target audiences or communities we serve:

##### **Financial Inclusion**
Vocdoni enables communities, especially in underserved areas, to participate in decision-making processes that directly affect their economic well-being. By lowering barriers to participation through digital technology, we empower individuals to have a voice in local financial decisions, such as participatory budgeting.
*Real-World Example*: 
In the Berga municipality, Vocdoni's technology facilitated participatory budgeting for 2024, achieving a notable 36.2% turnout among youth. This high engagement rate demonstrates the platform's effectiveness in encouraging financial participation from traditionally less active demographic groups, thereby promoting financial inclusivity.


##### **Social Impact**
Our project enhances social impact by enabling political parties, associations, NGOs and other social organizations to conduct their governance digitally. This increases operational efficiency and broadens participation, ensuring that decisions reflect the community's voice.
*Real-World Examples*:
· Plataforma per la Llengua, an NGO with over 25,000 members, used the Vocdoni Protocol for their AGM and board elections. This event highlighted the practical application of digital voting in strengthening organizational governance and member engagement.
· Òmnium Cultural and Footbol Club Barcelona, with tens of thousands of members, have adopted Vocdoni's digital voting protocol, illustrating its scalability and effectiveness in large organizations. These implementations demonstrate Vocdoni's impact on enhancing engagement and transparency in significant social and cultural entities.

##### **Broader Impact**
Vocdoni's technology ensures that voting is accessible to anyone with internet access, regardless of location. This global reach is particularly important for diaspora communities and members of decentralized organizations who wish to participate in governance activities from abroad. The use of blockchain technology not only secures the voting process but also makes it transparent and auditable, fostering trust among participants.

Through these initiatives, Vocdoni is actively contributing to a more inclusive, educated, and socially engaged world, leveraging cutting-edge technology to bridge gaps in traditional participation and governance models.
