🚨 Current Challenges

Fragmented Regional Address Systems: Côte d'Ivoire's 12 districts use inconsistent addressing methods. Abidjan relies on neighborhood names, Bouaké uses traditional landmarks, while cocoa-producing regions like Daloa and Gagnoa lack formal addressing, hampering the $11,000/ton cocoa export logistics.
Port of Abidjan Congestion Crisis: As West Africa's busiest port handling 50% of landlocked countries' trade, inadequate addressing causes 5-12 day cargo delays, resulting in $120M annual losses and threatening Côte d'Ivoire's status as the regional economic engine.
Cocoa Supply Chain Inefficiencies: With cocoa prices surging 267% in 2024, farmers in regions like Soubré and Daloa cannot be precisely located for direct purchasing, causing delays in the world's largest cocoa export operations and reducing farmer incomes by 25%.
Digital Economy Delivery Gaps: Despite $3.3B digital transformation investment, 68% of businesses in cities like Yamoussoukro, Man, and Korhogo cannot receive e-commerce deliveries, limiting the government's goal to double digital GDP contribution to 6% by 2025.
Financial Services Location Verification: Banks and mobile money services face difficulties verifying customer addresses for credit and services, particularly in rural areas, impacting financial inclusion goals and the growing fintech ecosystem in francophone West Africa's leading economy.
