Makani: Putting Libya on the Map
For decades, Libya has faced a fundamental challenge: the absence of clear and reliable addresses. This issue has affected almost every aspect of daily life — from the efficiency of delivery services and emergency response, to the ability of businesses to reach customers and communities. Without accurate geographic data, navigation was often unreliable, time-consuming, and frustrating.
Makani was developed to solve this nationwide problem. The application introduces a modern digital addressing system built on precise GPS coordinates, making it possible for individuals, institutions, and businesses to generate and share reliable digital addresses. Beyond just navigation, Makani represents a step toward building smarter cities and more connected
