The Digital Property Address system (GhanaPostGPS), forms part of the three initiatives of the Akufo-Addo government aimed at the recording of all state-owned properties and citizen’s data in a centralized national database. The essence of the initiatives is to facilitate a national planning and a formalized economic development.
Ghana Digital Property Address System – How It Works
The Digital Property Address System is an Information Technology location-based navigation system which is expected to provide an effective means of providing an address to every location and place in the country, including undeveloped parcels of land, using an IT application. The new system, according to the President, gives an address to the location of virtually everything including the “blue kiosk, the ‘waakye’ seller or the ‘koko’ seller.” The system which has been designed to comprehensively map the entirety of Ghana divides the country into grids of 5m x 5m squares and assigns each one a unique and permanent address, known as a digital address. This will be made possible through the generation of unique codes for each of the locations using the Global Positioning System (GPS) technology. The idea is that a national address database will be embedded into the system which will enable all Ghanaian residents to validate their home and office addresses for easy direction and identification. This has been described by many as a revolutionary innovation which is rarely experienced on the African continent. Though similar technology has been implemented in developed countries like the United States of America, The United Kingdom and a host of others, its replication by indigenous minds in Ghana has been applauded on several quarters. Interestingly, the app is very easy to use; all it takes is a moderate knowledge of how to use a smartphone. Though this may quite be a challenge at first especially for the older generation or uneducated, anyone with a fair knowledge of how to use a smartphone can always put them through. However, if you need clarifications on how to get the app and use it appropriately, the following should guide you.
