One Window Service office has been a successful initiative by the government which operated in Cambodia since 2003. The office provides a wide range of service requests to the citizen with quick, transparent and accountable service. Even though the service availability are made, the citizens are still finding it limited to access to the service information, Plus, it is desirable from the government to create a channel of meaningful conversation for change between the citizens and the service provider which is the government.
To tackle the challenge arising in the implementation, the OW4C project under the support from USAID, through human centered design process, uses the innovative technology solutions to help making service information of the OWSO service accessible to the public via using Interactive Voice Response (IVR) and Facebook Chatbot. On top of accessing information, the tech solutions also allow the user to provide feedback on their experience and service tracking which in return the data will be used via data dashboard visualization to open up a meaningful dialogue between the government and the citizen for suitable change. This will then lead to transparency and accountability between service users and service providers.
With the combination use of blended traditional outreach and activity and innovative technology, the project’s 1st years covered 5 districts and 1 city in Battambang province while the expansion of the 2nd year extended to Siem Reap and Banteay Meanchey province.
InSTEDD would like to express our sincere appreciation to all of our partners for the years of exceptional collaboration with the InSTEDD iLab Southeast Asia and for your contribution to its success in providing important solutions for social good.
Our original vision when we established the iLabSEA was that it would ultimately become a separate entity, locally owned and operated, in a model that provides social benefit and fits within the local economy. After 13 years of service to our local community, we are thrilled to announce that InSTEDD has closed our iLabSEA and the team from the LabSEA has now established an independent social enterprise organization, Kawsang.
We are confident that Kawsang will continue to provide the excellent service that has become their leadership team’s standard.
We are excited to have you join us in celebrating the success of realizing our vision for the iLabSEA and we very much appreciate your participation in this success and continued collaboration with Kawsang.
