The Challenge

People in the newly merged districts of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa had little access to the KP Local Government Act and did not know their rights under it.
The legal text existed only as dense documents, out of reach for citizens with limited literacy.
Information had to reach people on phones and at public kiosks, in the languages they speak.

Wrote plain-language content for the KP Local Government Act and translated it into Urdu, Pashto and English.
Produced professional Urdu and Pashto voiceovers so citizens can listen instead of read.
Built Agahi Baldiat (the AudioPedia project) as an Android app, an iPhone app, a web portal and a kiosk version for public mobile kiosks.
Connected the apps to the Local Government web applications with secure, real-time data sync.

Apps published on Google Play and the Apple App Store, alongside the web portal and kiosks.
Citizens in the merged districts can read or listen to their rights in their own language.
Delivered with the support and recognition of GIZ Pakistan.
