A Libyan Post company official reveals if Postal’s Addressing will see the light again after having been held for years

The Deputy Director-General of Libya Post Company, Said bin Salem, told our source that the “Postal addressing” is a digital project that started in 2008 and in 2010 most of the buildings in Libya were geographically documented, but the stoppage that occurred in 2011 created a large gap between what happened in the fieldwork and the data collected and the new buildings that were built during the last ten years.”

He added: “Libya Post Company returned to activate the system, starting from confirming the previous data to complete the project, to begin the stage of installing the plates, which is an important stage for developing knowledge of the postal code.”

He continued: “We have decided to start the installation with the participation of the municipalities within its scope through a joint working team, and they are also confirming the addresses so that there are municipalities within Greater Tripoli in which services will start experimentally through the systems in the company.”

“We will continue in this way until we can apply the title in a specific area to benefit from it, then we will proceed in the whole country with the participation of the municipalities, of which we are still making individual agreements with some of them.

The maps are then drawn and fieldwork is done to confirm the previous data and complete the missing one, and currently, we have an agreement with the Abu Salim municipality and Tripoli previously, where the work actually started, and then we move to other areas according to the readiness.”
