Overview

In support of the Government of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa’s initiative to integrate and empower citizens in the newly merged tribal districts, IT Artificer developed a comprehensive Android application and website to spread awareness about citizen rights, public services, and governance structures. This project serves as a bridge between the government and newly included communities, providing easy access to vital civic knowledge.

Solution Delivered

The application and accompanying website were designed to educate, engage, and empower the people of the merged areas by providing localized, accessible, and multilingual content:

• Responsive Web Platform:
  Created a companion website that mirrors the mobile content for users who prefer desktop access or have community internet access points.
• Multilingual Content:
  The app and website support Urdu, Pashto, and English, ensuring inclusivity across diverse linguistic populations.
