The complaints are processed by the Management Information Systems (MIS) administrator of the WSSP and assigned to the officials responsible for resolving the problem. WSSP uses a heat map displaying real time data of how the complaints are distributed and its current status.
Developed by a group of three K-P Civic Innovation Fellows, the app is a joint program of Code for Pakistan, K-PITB and the World Bank. The K-P Civic Innovation Fellowship has placed around 20 fellows from this year’s cohort in five different provincial government departments. During their six-month fellowship, they develop technology and digital solutions to improve citizen-facing government service delivery.
