The 7th cycle of the KP Government Innovation Fellowship Program kicked off on October 20th, 2021. A cohort of 20 Fellows was selected for the 7th cycle of the KP Fellowship Program. For the 7th cycle, the Fellows collaborated with seven government departments of KP and worked on different projects focused on increasing civic engagement, bringing automation and digitization, and making government processes more open and transparent. The projects developed under the 7th cycle include:
1. A Case Management System for Advocate General Office KP
A case management system was needed for the Advocate General Office KP to streamline the department’s case management and improve department workflows for better service delivery. The Fellows team developed a case management system based on the department’s requirements.
2. Online Mercy Petition System for Inspectorate General Prisons KP
The department needed an online mercy petition system for IG Prisons KP, under the direction of the Interior Ministry. The Fellows team developed the online system based on the department’s requirements. This automated system will help the department review mercy petitions of prisoners all across KP and expedite the process of communication between the Ministry of Human Rights and the Interior Ministry thereby shortening the time for the provision of relief especially for prisoners on capital punishment.
3. License and Product Registration System, and customer feedback app for Halal Food Authority KP
The department needed to develop a License and Product Registration System for food-related items and products. The Fellows team developed a mobile app enabling businesses to register with the department and enabling the citizens to give feedback on the quality of food in restaurants and shops to ensure that the food served and sold is hygienic and fresh. The app will also be used for food outlets’ ratings by the public, feedback on SOPs, policies, and quality of food items.
4. Management Information System of all existing sports facilities in KP for the Directorate of Sports KP
A Management Information System has been developed for all existing sports facilities in KP. The system also includes ticketing systems and membership systems to facilitate the citizens of KP with seamless access to sporting facilities and discourage unauthorized entry to these facilities. The Fellows team also developed a new website for the department.
5. Monitoring and Evaluation System in partnership with KP IT Board
The Fellows team developed a monitoring and evaluation system with KPITB. The system will be deployed in the M&E unit of KPITB and will be extended to other departments as a turn-key solution.
6. Complaints redressal system for Public Safety and Police Complaints Commission
An internal monitoring system and a complaint redressal has been developed for the Public Safety and Police Complaints Commission. The system will help the department review complaints against police and law enforcement personnel
7. Providing support to the Directorate of Livestock and Dairy Research on the Lab Information Management System
A support team worked on system upgrades and adding new modules and reports to the existing Lab Information Management System developed for the department during the 6th cycle. The program is expected to begin in October 2021.
