Zimbabwe and I’m working with the Local Authority in Kariba Town (a
small town
in the West of the country). The Local Authority would like to launch an
app
reliant on OSM data. The app is for reporting local issues and users
will
geolocate issues before submitting a form. Zimbabwe does not have a
great street
address system and most streets in Kariba are not officially named. Most
houses
do not have street numbers or street names/addresses. However, all
houses have
got what is known as a “Stand Number” which is given to the property
owner when
they purchase their property. </span></p>

lang="EN-US">The local
authority has good GIS capabilities and has been creating GIS layers for
points
of interest and building footprints with useful attributes such as the
stand
number. I am helping them to investigate the possibility of uploading a
shapefile of all property boundaries with stand number attributes to
OSM. This
will greatly improve the geocoding possibilities for Kariba residents. </span></p>
