A lot of countries in Africa do not have addressing systems and there is a push to have them adopt these granular forms of addressing for e-commerce and government service delivery. But existing addressing systems are structured to precisely link occupants to specific identity. I am reading more on this and would appreciate any leads.

    The conversion part is the tricky bit. If a third party decides to use their own system to convert GPS location to deliveries, that is out of your control. But you can perhaps use delivery locations that do not necessarily point to your exact location. It is a hard problem to both have a fixed location address and still keep some privacy.
