BitKwa Launches #bbdcohort2 Ahead of Bitcoin Afrique Conference

BitKwa just opened its second Bitcoin Builder Development cohort (#bbdcohort2), linking the initiative to the upcoming Conférence Bitcoin Afrique. This program is a technical lead-up to the summit, which is between April 17–19, 2026, at the Azalaï Hotel in Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso.

Linking the cohort’s progression to the Ouagadougou summit is a commitment to synchronized regional growth over isolated pockets of development. While the first cohort focused on establishing a baseline of Bitcoin literacy within local communities in Togo and Nigeria, this second iteration fosters collaborative synergy. The objective is to equip African builders with the technical and social infrastructure required to drive massive adoption across the continent.

The Lightning Developer Bootcamp, running from April 13–17. This immersive session provides a bridge for cohort members to transition from theoretical study to active engineering. By focusing on the Togo-Burkina Faso axis (#BitkwaTogo), BitKwa is strengthening a Francophone Bitcoin corridor. Momentum built within the Togolese community is being leveraged to support the broader tech scene in the Sahel, a region where monetary instability makes sovereign financial tools a practical necessity.

Developers and enthusiasts looking to engage with the next phase of the ecosystem can find registration details for the conference and its associated bootcamp at afriquebitcoin.org. For those specifically seeking to join future BitKwa cohorts, the organization manages its application process directly through its official X account.
