3 Executive Summary The Government of the Republic of Zambia through the Zambia Information and Communications Technology Authority (ZICTA) is in the process of developing a national addressing and postcode system for Zambia. Specifically, the project primarily seeks to develop addressing infrastructure across the country with a corresponding national address database. The addressing infrastructure includes but is not limited to mounted street and area names as well as mounted numbers on all properties in the country. On the other hand, the national address database will provide details on the physical location of all properties in the country. In 2011, ZICTA financed a feasibility study for the project which was undertaken in conjunction with the Universal Postal Union. Furthermore, the Authority exclusively financed the pilot phase of the project which was recently concluded in The total cost of the preliminary phase of the project was about ZMW 6 million. The subsequent stage of the project will be the national rollout phase that has been segmented into five sub-phases to be completed over a five year period ( ). The National rollout phase of the project is expected to have a huge resource requirement on account of the expanse coverage and volume of inputs. It is for this reason that the government through ZICTA would like to extend an invitation to cooperating partners, development finance institutions and any interest groups to participate in the project. The total cost of the national rollout phase of the project is estimated at ZMW 199 million or approximately US$30 million. The Government of the Republic of Zambia has already committed to meeting about 10 percent of this cost with the balance anticipated to be mobilized through cooperating partners, development finance institutions or any other interest groups. Once fully implemented, the national addressing and postcode system is expected to generate social and economic benefits that are far reaching beyond the growth of the postal and courier services sector. Notably, the project is expected to among other things lead to: Improved service delivery for emergency services such as fire fighters, ambulances and the police; employment and wealth creation; increased investment in projects that rely on postal and courier services; efficiency gains in the delivery of goods and services by postal and courier service providers; and contribute to the improvement of access to financial services such as access to credit and hire Page ii

Furthermore, the project is expected to contribute to the enhancement of efficiency in collecting taxes and levies associated with property by both the local authority and the central government. Overall, this initiative is expected to translate into an improvement in the ease of doing business in the country. Page iii

5 1.0. Description of the National Addressing and Postcode Project The Government of the Republic of Zambia through the Zambia Information and Communications Technology Authority (ZICTA) is in the process of developing and subsequently implementing a comprehensive national addressing and postcode system. This development dubbed the National Addressing and Postcode Project is envisaged to constitute the following components: a) Design, development and rollout of appropriate physical address infrastructure- property numbering, street and area name signage - throughout the country; b) Design and development of a suitable postcode system for the country; c) Design, development and implementation of a national addressing standard that conforms to international best practice; d) Design and development of a national address database for the storage and management of address information; e) Design and development of a Geographic Information System (GIS) that will be integrated with the national address database; and f) National awareness campaign to the public on the benefits of the national addressing and postcode system as well as investment promotion activities for the private sector. The project which was initiated in 2012 is expected to have a national coverage and implemented over the next five years ( ). The implementation of the project has been segmented into two key phases-pilot phase and a national rollout phase. The pilot phase which provided useful insights on the practicality of implementing the project was concluded in 2014 at a cost of about ZMW 6 million. Prior to the pilot phase of the project, ZICTA in conjunction with the Universal Postal Union undertook feasibility studies for the project in Zambia. All the activities preceding the national rollout phase were exclusively financed by ZICTA. The national rollout phase of the project will be segmented into five (5) implementation sub phases covering the entire country. This phase of the project is expected to have huge resource implications on account of the expanse coverage and volume of inputs. Page 1

6 In view of the foregoing, the Government of the Republic of Zambia, through ZICTA intends to invite cooperating partners and development finance institutions to participate in the financial and technical implementation of the national rollout phase of the project. The national rollout phase is scheduled to commence in 2015 with funds amounting ZMW5 million already provided by the government.

7 2.0. Rationale for the National Addressing and Postcode Project Addresses are a means of uniquely identifying a location. Specifically, an address provides the particulars of the place where an individual lives or where an organisation is situated. In the absence of addresses, it is almost impractical to access emergency services such as ambulance services, fire fighter services or police response services. A verifiable physical address is also a prerequisite to accessing some financial services such as opening a bank account or acquiring goods on hire purchase. Furthermore, addresses are an indispensable part of the postal and courier services supply chain. They facilitate the efficient delivery of letters and parcels to intended recipients. Therefore, Addresses are essential for economic and social development as they allow people to be connected to the formal economy thereby being able to have access to a host of commercial and social products and services. In this sense, addresses should in fact be considered as basic public infrastructure just as roads or railways. However, only a small proportion of the population in Zambia has an address. The country mainly relies on the Post Office Box (P.O. Box) addressing system. However, this system is not only insufficient for the growing population but is also not likely to translate into the numerous benefits associated with a physical address. Consequently, there is an urgent need for an inclusive and comprehensive addressing system in Zambia. Arguably, the absence of a good addressing and postcode system in Zambia has constricted investment and growth in the postal and courier services sector. ZICTA through the Postal Services Act Number 22 of 2009 has the mandate to ensure that the entire population has access to a wide range of postal and courier services that are affordable and of an acceptable quality. However, the country is still faced with the basic challenge of limited access on account of an inadequate addressing system. The Postal Services Act Number 22 of 2009 further provides the Authority with the mandate to stimulate and foster growth and investment in the postal sector. Nevertheless, an eminent barrier to new entrants on the market and further investment by the existing operators is the inadequate addressing infrastructure in the country. Page 3

8 It is against this background that the government through ZICTA embarked on the National Addressing and Postcode project. The anticipated benefits of this project have a wider reach beyond the growth of the postal sector which include but are not limited to: improved service delivery for emergency services such as fire fighters, ambulances and the police; employment and wealth creation; increased investment in projects that rely on postal and courier services; efficiency gains in the delivery of goods and services by postal and courier service providers; and a contribution to the improvement of access to financial services Anticipated Benefits of the National Addressing and Postcode Project A sound national addressing and postcode system is likely to deliver a wide spectrum of benefits to the postal and courier services sector as well as other spheres of the economy. It is also likely to have some contribution on social welfare improvement in the country Benefits to the Postal and Courier Services Sector I. Improved quality of service and delivery success (reduction in costly undeliverable mail) due to increased address accuracy; II. III. IV. Increased scope of the market size; Potential for development of new, untapped revenue streams and mail flows such as direct mail marketing, statement mail, utility bill delivery, logistics and parcel business among others; Potential for new revenue from e-commerce and in particular, e-fulfillment services (where the postal operator delivers goods purchased online to individual households); and V. Potential for increased efficiency from automated mail processing Benefits beyond the Postal and Courier Services Sector I. The integration of a greater proportion of the population into the formal economy will among other benefits increase the market for specific services which require proof of identity and residence such as banking services, access to credit and hire purchase transactions among others; Page 4

9 II. III. IV. The advertising industry can benefit from the introduction of a previously under utilised channel Direct Mail Marketing & Mail Order Business; E-commerce becomes a distinct possibility with such a system in place; Utility companies such as water and electricity can better manage and maintain their networks and collect fees which could in turn improve their operational efficiency; V. Facilitate improvements in collecting taxes and levies related to properties by the Government and local authority VI. VII. VIII. Ease planning and deployment of social services such as electricity, water and sanitation services; For the public, the improved street naming, property numbering and area coding makes cities more user-friendly and helps people find their way around more easily; and The system facilitates the efficient delivery of emergency health, fire and police services to the correct address within the shortest possible time. Selected Emergency services that can be facilitated by a National Addressing system 4.0. Implementation of the National Addressing and Postcode Project 4.1. Institutional Arrangements The implementation of the National Addressing and Postcode Project will involve the participation of various stakeholders who include but are not limited to: ZICTA; Infrastructure Page 5

10 Suppliers; Local Authorities; Installation teams; Communities; and local businesses. The linkage between these players and their strategic roles are highlighted in figure 1 below: Figure 1: Participation of Various Stakeholders in the National Addressing and Postcode Project ZICTA Project Management Supplier Infrastructure Supplier Local Authorities Maping and Supervision ZICTA Secretariat Community SMES/ Installation Teams Installation Field Data Collectors Data Collection/Verification ZICTA will be responsible for the overall management and implementation of the project during the national rollout phase. Its responsibility will also involve the efficient management and deployment resources towards the project. The Local Authorities will also be an important partner in the project. They will be responsible for the provision of initial mapping resources and supervision of works once contracts have been awarded to the installation teams. The local authorities also have the legal mandate of naming streets or designated areas in the country. A local supplier will be identified through a competitive bidding process that will also act as the sole manufacturer and supplier of addressing infrastructure in the national rollout phase. This will be done so as to ensure standardization in the quality of infrastructure being installed. At the Page 6

11 same time, the company will act as a wholesaler to the community based installation teams so as to reduce on the overall cost of the project. A project secretariat, based at ZICTA, has been appointed to coordinate the implementation of the project. The secretariat will provide an operational link among the identified stakeholders. The Secretariat will also be responsible for managing and updating the National Address database that was developed during the pilot phase of the project. The secretariat will also be responsible for the overall monitoring and evaluation of the project. ZICTA will handle all procurement arrangements needed during the project including the award and supervision of contracts. However, prospective financiers of the project are free to prescribe their own procurement or administrative guidelines for any funds that they may wish to commit to the project Strategic Pillars and Associated Considerations during Implementation Two strategic pillars will be taken into consideration during the national rollout phase of the project. The first pillar will focus on the deployment of addressing infrastructure and all associated processes needed for the creation of addresses. The second pillar will concentrate on the management of the address data emanating from the physical addresses that would have been created. The key considerations under each strategic pillar are summarized in figure 2 below: Figure 2: Strategic Pillars and Key Considerations during the National Rollout Phase Cost minimisation Physical Infrastructure Deployment Operational efficiency and quality control Local empowerment Address Data Management Comprehensive coverage Data Quality Page 7

12 Physical Infrastructure Deployment Under this strategic pillar, the project will seek to incur the least cost while adhering to high quality and standards. Particularly, the cost of the house numbers and the steel poles will be reduced on account of a sole supplier being sourced on negotiated price terms. This initiative is also expected to guarantee the same level of quality across all project areas. Furthermore, the project is expected to generate some benefits to local communities and small businesses. Particularly, youths from the local communities are likely to be engaged by the local businesses that will be hired to install the physical infrastructure Address Data Management The management of address data will remain a key component throughout the project. In order to streamline the collection, verification and uploading of data into the national address database, data collection will be conducted simultaneously with the installation of house numbers. As a measure for enhancing the quality of data collected, training in the collection and management of spatial data will also be conducted by the project secretariat Risk Management Strategy Effort was also taken during the pilot phase of the project to identify risks associated with the implementation of the project and some countervailing measures to mitigate these risks were identified (See table1). The risk assessment process is expected to continue throughout the implementation of the project. This will hedge against any likely attributes of project failure as well as anticipate any challenges for the successful completion of the project. Table 1: Identified Risks and Mitigation Measures during the Implementation of the Project Risk Project Size Excessive Man-hours for key project participants Risk Level L/M/H H: In excess of normal working hours Likelihood Event of Mitigation Strategy Certainty Project participation not restricted to committee members but extended to their respective organisations that may provide alternative representatives when required.

15 The project is planned to be implemented over a five year period ( ) segmented into five sub phases. The proposed implementation plan is based on a feasibility assessment conducted by ZICTA aimed at ascertaining the accuracy of quantity and cost projections. The feasibility assessment also evaluated the level of preparedness of the various provinces for the rollout of the addressing infrastructure (see figure 3).This was based on a number of parameters that included spatial and non-spatial address data including maps, street indices, layout plans, existing naming and numbering policies and neighbourhood typology among others. Wherever possible, information about the capability of the local industry to produce and install required signage was also collected.

17 6.0. Evaluation Mechanism The Monitoring and Evaluation function on the project will be undertaken by the project secretariat at ZICTA. This will particularly involve tracking the performance of the project against the set targets in the project implementation plan. Emphasis will be on timeliness of delivery, cost management and adherence to quality and standards. Monitoring reports are expected to be prepared every quarter and shared with all the financiers of the project. An evaluation exercise is also expected to be undertaken at the end of each phase of the project. It is recommended that the financing of subsequent phases of the project should be tied to the evaluation reports of the preceding phases. Cooperating partners and development finance institutions are also free to recommend their own monitoring and evaluation reporting tools on the project. Page 13

18 Appendix 1- Cost Estimates for Nationwide Infrastructure Deployment per District 1.0 Key Assumptions & Focus Areas This appendix is based on the assumption that the full implementation process will be completed over a period of five (5) years and builds on the lessons learnt from the Pilot Phase in determining the national implementation approach. The document also assumes that the use of a local manufacturer and wholesaler of addressing infrastructure will reduce the unit cost per item by at least 50% from current levels. The focus of the appendix is to attempt to accurately forecast the costs of infrastructure deployment on a national scale by determining the quantities and costs of house numbers and street name signage to be deployed at district and provincial level. 2.0 QUANTITIY & COST ESTIMATES FOR STREET SIGNAGE In the absence of detailed mapping resources including street layout maps for each and every district, an attempt at estimating the number of signs to be deployed on a countrywide scale is particularly challenging. Despite this challenge, however, a reasonable correlation between the population density (which is readily available from the 2010 Census Report) and the average number of streets in a given area has been helpful in arriving at such an estimate. Furthermore, the number of street intersections was estimated to be 4 times the number of streets, with each intersection requiring at least 2 signs. The detailed forecasts for each province are outlined in the tables below: Persons/ Sq Unit Total Cost Streets Intersections Signs LUSAKA PROVINCE Km Cost K Lusaka 4,853 3,640 14,560 29, ,560,000 Chongwe ,000 Kafue ,000 Luangwa ,000 TOTAL 4,906 3,680 14,720 29,440 N/A 14,720,000 Page 14

22 Although there was a strong temptation to base the quantity of house number plaques on known statistics pertaining to the number of households per district, it must be mentioned that such an estimate would grossly overstate the requirements. A more reasonable estimate can instead be derived from the number of planned cadaster/plots in each district. Based on available data form selected districts, the number of planned plots was estimated to be 45% of the number of households in each district as outlined in the tables below: House Households LUSAKA PROVINCE Numbers Unit Cost K Total Cost K Lusaka 358, , ,801,413 Chongwe 36,319 16, ,206,379 Kafue 44,556 20, ,706,777 Luangwa 4,672 2, ,824 TOTAL 444, ,988 N/A 26,998,394 COPPERBELT House Households PROVINCE Numbers Unit Cost K Total Cost K Chililabombwe 17,326 7, ,052,555 Chingola 39,657 17, ,409,163 Kalulushi 19,203 8, ,166,582 Kitwe 96,666 43, ,872,460 Luanshya 29,043 13, ,764,362 Lufwanyama 15,597 7, ,518 Masaiti 20,511 9, ,246,043 Mpongwe 17,350 7, ,054,013 Mufulira 30,065 13, ,826,449 Ndola 85,707 38, ,206,700 TOTAL 371, ,006 N/A 22,545,844 House Households CENTRAL PROVINCE Numbers Unit Cost K Total Cost K Chibombo 53,179 23, ,230,624 Kabwe 39,862 17, ,421,617 Page 18
