Background

The Supporting e-Government and Innovation in the Public Administration Project (InnoPA) is one of the GIZ projects in Egypt, which aims to promote e-governance and digital opportunities.

The age group of 15 to 64 years represents 61.9% of Egypt's population; these are more likely to require different public services frequently. This massive crowd in the public services offices represents a heavy burden on governmental employees and obligates long waiting times from the public side. Occasionally, citizens can't find the correct set of official documents required to perform the service, which prolongs the process. As a result, the application process can be exhausting for most of us. 

To alleviate this burden on citizens, the Egyptian government has undergone massive efforts to connect the different government entities electronically and offer services online. But yet, the citizens aren’t familiar with the new e-government services, neither know how to apply for them nor trust the digital process efficiency. Accordingly, the benefits of this digital transformation have not reached their full potential. 

The Challenge

To design a game to raise community awareness of different governmental services provided through the Digital Egypt platform.
