The President, Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, has launched the National Digital Address System, \u201cGhanaPostGPS<\/em>\u201d in Accra.<\/p>\n

The program was done in partnership with the Communications Ministry and Ghana Post. The digital adrress system is expected to give the country an accurate database of addresses.<\/p>\n

At the launch of the system, President Akufo-Addo said that \u201cwe have stayed true to this commitment, and reaffirmed it in this year\u2019s Asempa Budget. From today, every land or property will be assigned a unique identifier. This will facilitate improved ownership data and unique identification of properties and persons. A proper addressing of properties will ensure efficient delivery of services for economic development.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cWith this new system, every property in Ghana will have an address and can be accounted for, including the location of the blue kiosk, the \u2018waakye\u2019 seller or the \u2018koko\u2019 seller. The Property Addressing System also means that the \u2018koko\u2019 seller can now open a bank account, as he or she will be able to meet the basic requirement to access loan facilities from a bank. The \u2018koko\u2019 seller, like many other small businesses, can also grow his or her business,<\/em>\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

This is a step in the right direction for the country. It was next to impossible to get basic directions to places. With this National Digital Address System, we hope that it would have its necessary impact on the country.<\/p>\n
