I chair the Taskforce that is dealing with the National Addresing System (NAS). The Taskforce includes among others the City Coucil, CCK, PCK, Google, MOIC, Ministry of lands , The then Metrpolitan ministry, oop, Central Business District mapIT of South Africa etc. So far, we are collecting data in a section of the CBD which will be incorporated in Googles navigation system. We then expect to role out the piloted area possibly by the end of May. Thereafter, we expect to cover the rest of Nairobi and funds permitting the rest of the country.<div>
Perhaps this initiative is to compliment the Taskforce efforts! We will have to find out from them.<span></span><br><div>Madete<br><br>On Thursday, April 25, 2013, robert yawe wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">

Title: The Study for the Establishment of the Spatial Data Framework for the City of Nairobi<br>
Period: December 2002 – March 2005<br>
Funded by: JICA<br>
<br>
The City of Nairobi has experienced a rapid increase in population with
an influx of immigrants from rural areas, and the city infrastructure
(water supply, sewerage, land management, waste disposal, health and
sanitation, etc.) is not sufficient to meet the growing demands.
However, the city's 1:2,500-scale maps, the most basic geographic
information, were produced 30 years ago and do not cover the entire
city. As they have not been updated or expanded, they do not represent
current conditions and cannot be used to formulate urban development
plans. In the study, we developed a geographic information system to
manage the city's infrastructure. Specific activities included: i)
aerial photography (scale: 1:5,000; color) covering an area of 702 km<sup>2</sup>,
ii) ground control point survey (22 points), iii) ordinary leveling
(350km), iv) aerial triangulation (249 models), v) field identification
(585 km<sup>2</sup>), vi) production of 1:2,500 topographic maps (170 km<sup>2</sup>), vii) production of 1:5,000 topographic maps (415 km<sup>2</sup>), viii) consultation on GIS related tasks and design of GIS (15 km<sup>2</sup>), and ix) GIS database construction.
