Senegal's Nima Codes to Launch Address App in 15 African Countries

Senegalese startup NIMA Codes - a digital mapping service for locations without formal addresses - has upgraded its app and plans to go live in 15 African countries in 2020.

The pre-seed stage startup launched in 2018 around an API that uses mobile-phone numbers to catalog coordinates for unregistered homes and businesses in Senegal.
