Somaliland Adopts Universal Address System

TORONTO, Sept. 26 (Globe and Mail) — NAC Geographic Products Inc. has announced that Cadastral Surveys of Somaliland has adopted and implementing the Universal Address System in Somaliland. The Universal Address System and the Natural Area Coding System have been developed by NAC Geographic Products Inc. to unify addresses, postal codes, area codes, geographic co-ordinates and map grids in the world. The Natural Area Coding System generates standardized and highly efficient codes called Natural Area Codes for all locations and areas in the world that can be used as geographic coordinates, Universal Addresses, Global Postal Codes, Universal Area Codes and Universal Map Grids.

The United Nations Development Program is supporting a land survey (cadastral) that seeks to meet the need for land and collateral, and employs conflict resolution. Cadastral Surveys, an officially registered non-government organization in Somaliland and Britain, is establishing farm boundaries. Universal Addresses at each of the farms' polygon turning points and polygon center in the District of Gabiley are included on Farmers' ID cards as short strings of Universal Addresses. The Universal Addresses are also marked on the ground by embedded concrete blocks, and repeated in databases.
Farmers now have legal title deeds from Somaliland's Ministry of Agriculture.
