<p dir="ltr">Kenya is working on a comprehensive national numbering and address system to improve accessibility and foster economic activities.</p>
<p dir="ltr">The Communications Authority (CA) is in the process of setting up a committee that will begin ground works in all 47 counties to ensure sensitisation on importance of uniform mapping.</p>
<p dir="ltr">The system whose timelines and cost will be projected as consultations progress, will incorporate; naming and numbering of streets, properties, buildings as well as parcels of land.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Statistics by the Courier Industry Association of Kenya (CIAK) show that lack of appropriate mapping in Kenya has slowed down the growth in e-commerce. In Kenya alone, miss-deliveries owing to lack of clear addresses amount to 17 per cent, delayed deliveries are at 58 per cent and non-deliveries are at 25 per cent.</p>
