Alina Khan, Associate at the Centre for Digital Transformation, contributed to Pakistan IT Industry Association (P@SHA)'s roundtable on “Bridging the Gender Gap in Entrepreneurship” at the ITCN Asia. The panel focused on technology empowerment for women entrepreneurs (especially from rural and marginalised areas) by leveraging digital solutions and policy interventions. Effectively designing digital apps and services with use-cases for women, especially to increase financial inclusion, demands a nuanced and evidence-based understanding of how women use, adopt, and interact with technology.

🌟 **CLADO and PUAN Empower Local Government Representatives in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa!** 🌟 🏛️ **One-Day Training for Elected Representatives of District Khyber and District Peshawar** ClADO and PUAN organized a one-day training session for the eleceted representatives of Local Government in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. The event took place in Local Givernance School, Peshawar, KP. Local governments play a **crucial role** in any democratic system. They are the grassroots level of governance, directly impacting citizens' lives by managing essential services, infrastructure, and community development. Without effective local governance, true democracy cannot thrive. Local government representatives often serve as a breeding ground for future provincial and federal political leaders. By enhancing their capacity, we empower them to drive positive change at the grassroots level, contributing to a stronger, more vibrant democracy. #LocalGovernment #Democracy

🚨 Spotlight on Mevris App: A Case Study in Poor Development and Customer Service 🚨 As someone who values innovation and technological advancement, it’s disappointing to witness the ongoing issues with the Mevris app, developed by BlueEast for Orient Group Of Companies Pakistan. Key Issues: Login Problems: Despite being in the market for over six years, the app’s login functionality remains non-functional for many users. Longevity Without Improvement: Available on the Play Store for more than six years, yet fundamental issues persist. User Feedback Ignored: The app has some of the most disappointed users, with countless negative reviews highlighting persistent issues and frustrations. Lack of Developer Response: Zero response from the developers, BlueEast, despite ongoing complaints and feedback from users. Takeaway: The Mevris app serves as a prime example of poor development practices and an extremely poor feedback/improvement cycle. It's crucial for companies to prioritize user experience and actively address feedback to ensure product success. Let's hope BlueEast and Orient Group Of Companies Pakistan take this as a wake-up call to address these issues and improve the app for their loyal customers. #AppDevelopment #CustomerService #FeedbackLoop #UserExperience #TechInnovation
