Gabon Poste tracking

What is Gabon Poste?

Gabon Poste is a state-owned company that has the responsibility to manage and operate in the right way, all the postal services in Gabon. In recent years Gabon Poste has experienced serious financial problems that have reduced the quality of its postal services. Services such as La Poste Gabonaise tracking have been affected by the financial and corporate difficulties of the last decade.
In fact, in 2006 Gabon Poste entered a process of liquidation where some of its postal services started to be managed by the French postal company La Poste SA. Since then, the postal services of Gabon Poste have started to be regulated by the Government of Gabon legislative laws.
These laws on the part of the government, establish that the company Gabon Poste must guarantee the following postal services: universal mail service, banking service, and postal financial services, such as money transfers, also known as PMT.
The postal history of Gabon Poste originates in the year 1862 when the whole country was under the leadership of French colonies. During that time all the known postal services were performed on foot. Postmen walked or ran long distances to distribute and deliver thousands of letters every year. Postal orders had to pass through the Fernando Póo post office, which had a British origin because the United Kingdom controlled most of the postal logistics network on the African continent.
In the next years, the postal services in Gabon started to evolve thanks to the arrival of rail and sea transport that facilitated the transport and delivery of postal parcels. Thus, the volume of postal parcels increased exponentially.
Regardless of the remoteness of the area or rural region, postal employees traveled along rivers and large areas of the country to do their job. With the arrival of the telegraph, the first postal service departments were installed in the country, where millions of people could place any kind of order, such as letters, packages, or telegrams.
It was not until 1961 when Gabon’s independence began. When the independence process started, all the postal services were controlled by the government. Since then, the postal services in Gabon have gone through different stages, where the quality has had ups and downs.
Since the 1990s, like other countries in Africa, Gabon Poste postal services have undergone significant changes due to the implementation of new technologies.
Today, despite the complicated moment the company is going through, great efforts are being made to offer the best possible quality and to guarantee millions of users the most important postal services.
