Kenya is working on a comprehensive national numbering and address system to improve accessibility and foster economic activities. 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. 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. 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. http://www.nation.co.ke/business/Kenya-plans-nationwide-home-address-system/...
