Paklog indexes Citizen experience and voice on public service delivery and public interest brands. Infographics and Key insights are developed using the feedback and disseminated through our own and partner social media channels and Nigarkhana- our online magazine. The basic idea is that Citizens are customers and consumers with genuine expectations from he providers of goods and services, be it the public or private sector.
While our literacy levels have improved of late, it is expected that a higher number of young citizens, increasingly, are “digital Literates” given that the number of mobile phone users is about 80 percent. Pakistanis around the age of 30 comprise about 60 percent of our population; most of these individuals are expected to be smart phone users in the next four years. This segment is expected to be well informed and opinionated.
With the smart phone price now well below 100 USD and the spread of mobile broadband, we believe that handheld device provides the best interface with the citizen. The use of technology assures universal access and minimal bias for democratic social accountability. Using our web platform and APP, expatriate population can also give feedback on the service they get from our embassies and missions abroad.
Paklog generates periodic citizen experience (CX) rankings, social research and targeted perception surveys from our District Citizen Panels (DCPs).
Paklog supports open government data and net neutrality and is a partner organization of Sustainable development Policy Institute (SDPI).
We welcome you experience the interactive Paklog duo on phone and web at the link www.pakog.org.
Sincerely
Paklog Team
We Rank of Public Services based on citizen user experience feedback through our online rating system. The lead output is the dynamic Composite Governance Ranking (CGR) of Pakistan districts. Interactive tools allow for prompt and visual comparisons per selection.
We also carry out custom survey studies within predefined parameters/constraints like geography, gender, social segmentation, etc. Focused feedback with a custom designed instrument is possible with our capacity, presence and add-on tools where needed with speed and unmatched reach. We can focus on and conduct a deep dive into a particular issue through our representative Citizens panels in every District.
The ranking is essentially built on crowd sourced citizen feedback data; this makes for voluntary feedback that is more direct, unbiased and the rankings more objective. Rather than going through the complaint process that few people trust we complete the loop of quality real time feedback.
The rankings are based on feedback secured through the mobile Phone APP in real time. Our focused research is enabled by district citizen’s panels (CPs); the panels tend to be diverse and are representative of the population of the area. Each member has login access to the Paklog portal through web or phone App for completing the surveys.
The data is statistically weighted for fair representation and comparison purposes. Algorithmic measures are in place to account for redundancy, bias and ensuring quality.
