π Connecting the Heart of Africa
Transforming Zambia: From Landlocked Challenge to Regional Digital Hub
As a landlocked nation at the crossroads of Southern, Central, and Eastern Africa, Zambia faces unique logistics and connectivity challenges. WIA Pin Code will transform these challenges into opportunities, positioning Zambia as the digital gateway for the entire region with seamless connections to 8 neighboring countries.
π
Regional Transit Hub
Efficient routing through landlocked corridors
βοΈ
Aviation Gateway
Optimized air cargo and passenger connections
π
Railway Networks

π What is WIA Pin Code?
WIA (World Identity Authentication) Code is a FREE, universal address system designed specifically for landlocked nations like Zambia. Using simple XXX-XXX-XXX format, it provides every location with a unique, permanent identifier that works across all 8 neighboring countries.
Zambia Format: 260-XXX-XXX-XXX
The first three digits (260) represent Zambia's international dialing code, followed by location-specific coordinates converted into a memorizable 9-digit sequence. This system will help establish Zambia as the regional digital hub connecting the Democratic Republic of Congo, Tanzania, Malawi, Mozambique, Zimbabwe, Botswana, Namibia, and Angola.
