ResumoZlto(zlah-toh) is a project to provide secure validation of credentials for young people.Many African youth find it difficult to obtain jobs because of a lack of formal qualification, but they have a breath of informal skills.In this paper we will describe how we implement the Zlto system to provide proof of skills completed through a peer-to-peer evaluation mechanism and stored using blockchain.Since its first deployment in 2016, Zlto has processed over 1 million transactions.We present simulation and analysis of the reputation protocol used to verify work, and further evaluate the peer review process using a think a loud focus group method with a group of peer reviewers in order to improve the system.
