The basis of these Digital Postal Services is Lleida.net's existing Registered Electronic Communications technology. Established in 1980, the Pan-African Postal Union is an international organisation under the African Union, created more than 40 years ago to coordinate the 55 postal services across the continent and drive postal innovation. The agreement will enable the postal services of all African countries to provide Registered Digital Communications with legal and commercial admissibility. "The Pan-African Postal Union has the vision to implement a single postal territory for the development of the postal sector in Africa. These new Digital Postal Services will rapidly enable rapid digital participation of all Africans," Younouss Djibrine, Secretary-General of the Pan-African Postal Union, said.
