Project Description

E-Kasib is an online service outsourcing platform in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa that helps employers and entrepreneurs in both the Public and Private sector find the best talent for their projects. This platform aids employers in both sectors to procure consultancy services of individuals/firms for small and mid-level projects.

One of its major highlights is its robust search engine that helps tech start-ups, individual freelancers and experts find the gigs they are interested in, while employers can scour the site for qualified and skilled workers. In addition, the platform protects the private and financial data of employers and gives them the confidence to make payments securely. It also offers a seamless private chat channel where employers and workers can communicate securely about the project details.

Objectives

  1. Identification of Eligible Recipients: One of the primary objectives of E-Kasih is to identify and register households and individuals who qualify for social welfare assistance. This involves determining eligibility based on income, family size, and other relevant criteria.
  2. Targeted Aid Distribution: E-Kasih aims to ensure that financial aid and assistance programs are targeted effectively to reach those who need them the most. By accurately identifying eligible recipients, the program aims to reduce leakages and prevent aid from going to ineligible individuals.
