WIA Pin Code Proposal - Somalia

1 Executive Summary

This proposal presents WIA Pin Code as a comprehensive solution to Somalia's addressing infrastructure challenges. With approximately 90% of the population lacking reliable street addresses and 53% living in rural areas, WIA Pin Code offers a GPS-based digital addressing system that requires no physical infrastructure.

                    Key Benefits:
                    Universal coverage: Every 3m×3m location gets a unique 9-digit address
Zero infrastructure cost: Works with existing GPS technology
Offline capable: Functions without internet connectivity
Free for citizens and government use

                

2 Current Addressing Challenges

Somalia faces significant addressing infrastructure challenges:

Population without addresses: Approximately 90% (16M+ people)
Rural population: 53% of 18M population lives in rural areas with limited postal infrastructure
Emergency services: Difficulty locating people in need of medical or rescue assistance
E-commerce barriers: Last-mile delivery challenges limiting economic growth
Financial exclusion: Unable to open bank accounts or receive government services without verifiable address

                    Global Context: The Universal Postal Union estimates that approximately 4 billion people worldwide lack a reliable street address. Somalia is among the countries where this challenge most significantly impacts daily life and economic development.
