<div dir="ltr">@Ben: what are the actions taken or being taken in Bangladesh. If the Government is too slow( in most of the countries like in Nepal, Government does not even move) to do the job of assigning the proper addresses then what are other actions that can be taken so that people can tell "where they leave". You know anybody working on this problem?</div>

<div><br></div><div> While trying to find out who is trying to solve this problem, I found the organization named <b>Universal Post Union</b>, which is working on an initiative "<b style="font-size:13px;margin:0px;padding:0px;color:rgb(102,102,102);font-family:Verdana,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;line-height:14.078125px;text-align:justify"><a href="http://www.upu.int/fileadmin/documentsFiles/activities/addressingAssistance/paperAddressingAddressingTheWorldAnAddressForEveryoneEn.pdf" style="margin:0px;padding:0px;outline-style:none" target="_blank">"Adressing the world, an address for everyone"</a></b><span style="font-size:13px;color:rgb(102,102,102);font-family:Verdana,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;line-height:14.078125px;text-align:justify"> .</span></div>
