Hello Antoine,
This proposal is a great one coming from the lightning dev community.
To note, different community across Africa organises local meetups focused on technical session around Bitcoin and lightning network for example Qala Africa and a couple of BitDevs community across a couple of East and West African countries.
It will be a good step to connect with these communities first to bootstrap planning.
I will reach out privately.
Great idea here.
Cheers nully0x
