1. Egyptians face problems navigating complex government bureaucracy, getting lost in paperwork and wasting time in lines.
2. The proposed solution is an online platform called Kashaaf that allows users to document and search experiences with government services and venues. It will also rate venues and provide feedback to the government.
3. Kashaaf aims to make Egyptians' lives easier by saving their time, effort, and frustration with navigating government systems and red tape.
1. PROBLEM
1- Egyptians getting lost to finish certain official papers, and not
knowing what steps they have to go through or what are the pre required
documents when they have to deal with different governmental venues
to get a certain paper/mission done.
2- General dissatisfaction when they deal with governmental venues for
many different reasons ( no clear information presented, behavior of
service employees dealing with public, etc.. )
3- Wasting hours of citizens' time standing in lines to renew/get a certain
service done.
4- Wasting days when citizens have to come to the capital to finish
certain papers that are prerequisite for other papers in their governorates.
EXISTING ALTERNATIVES
Expressing their anger and frustration in a very small community of
friends or family.
Asking someone who has been through the same experience, if they
found any.
Many unorganized forums or posts on facebook and other social
networks.
SOLUTION
1- For people who have been through an experience, it is providing
online tools to share/document their experiences and on the other hand
powerful search capabilities to find these experiences by the public
before pursuing them in real life with always upgrading features on both
sides.
2- We provide full 6 aspects of rating for each governmental venue
throughout the 28 governorates in Egypt ( 13500 venues ) and the results
are sent to MSAD ministry to reform the three worst venues monthly.
2. 3- Providing governmental services that are door to door saving their
time.
4- Reporting back to the MSAD with the feedback of quarterly polls on
which of the services should go fully online.
5- We will represent all what is on the Bawaba on our website in a much
neater and cleaner professional way that is easy to use.
