Africa-Press<\/a> – Uganda<\/a>. <\/strong><\/span>A youth tech startup based in Uganda has unveiled a digital addressing platform that allows people to create, personalize and possess simple and unique addresses.<\/p>\n

Named Africa Digital Address System (ADAS), the online platform seeks to provide address for people living in different areas around the country in a bid to combat the challenges of providing services to people without proper formal addresses.<\/p>\n

Yusuf Kayiwa, the project coordinator ADAS explained that there is a growing reliance on the digital space for service delivery in multiple sectors like commerce, health, travel among others and that is why ADAS system joins in to fix the address issue.<\/p>\n

\u201cWith ADAS, anyone can create a digital address for exactly where they are. The service provider will then be able to locate you, using GPS and reduce chances of getting lost and wasting time,\u201d Mr Kayuwa explained.<\/p>\n

He revealed that ADAS service is precise that one can create an address that\u2019s unique to where they are standing at a particular moment, or even for a room in a large mall.<\/p>\n

\u201cADAS provides permanent digital addresses for people\u2019s homes, offices or businesses premises as well as temporary addresses you can use on the go or during an emergency situation\u201d he noted<\/p>\n

Kayiwa notes that this service is easy to use. The address is created in less than a minute and has the benefit of pinpoint accuracy. \u201cWe have seen complaints of users being misled by other location apps but with ADAS, we are sure to guide your way\u201d Yusuf noted further.<\/p>\n

Given the fact that privacy is important, ADAS addresses are created with a random numeric code. Therefore, whereas your code could be UG-273-205, your next-door neighbour\u2019s code could be something like UG-408-012.<\/p>\n

He adds that this makes it difficult for anyone to know your address unless you have shared it. This address is as easy to remember as your phone number. The ADAS APP is available on Playstore and App store.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
