Kenya stands to benefit more from the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA) if the country puts in place a national addressing system which a think tank notes will also reduce the cost of doing business.
A national addressing system is a framework that provides for among others, naming and numbering of streets, numbering of properties such as buildings and parcels of land to facilitate identification and the location of a parcel or dwelling on the ground.
The Kenya Institute for Public Policy Research and Analysis (Kippra) says putting in place such a system would not only make cross-border payments easy but would also help settle disputes among traders.
Kippra says in a paper that digital trade is incomplete without an elaborate addressing system that facilitates the identification of the locations where buyers and sellers are based.
