Project Overview

The Volunteer Engagement Portal is an integrated civic engagement platform created specifically for the Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation (AMC) to enhance coordination, transparency, and civic involvement in various zones and wards.

This platform allows citizens to get informed about civic engagements happening currently, in progress, or already completed, to register for such civic engagements, participate, and receive certificates and rewards digitally. On the other hand, it also offers AMC administrators a comprehensive civic engagement event management and user coordination system.

Business Challenges

1. Disorganized Civic Activities Management

There was no unified management tool to be used in managing civic activities and citizen involvement within the zones and zonal office. This made managing the activities hard.

2. Low Citizen Awareness

The citizens were not aware of the civic activities that were being conducted in their areas hence, there was a need to have a central event portal for volunteers.

3. Inaccurate Participation Monitoring

Tracking of applications, approvals, participation, withdrawal, and completion of the civic activities is difficult when done manually since it might have wrong information.

4. No Centralized Rewards System

Citizens participating in volunteer activities require an organized approach to recognizing their achievements through digitized certificates. Without such a system, tracking participation records is hard.

5. Complicated Administration System

Administration is quite complicated in AMC, where activities are managed across zones, wards, departments, and groups.

Our Solutions

In order to solve AMC’s problems regarding civic engagement, events, and administration visibility, ManekTech’s development team built the Volunteer Engagement Portal by using technologies such as .NET Core, Web API, ASP.NET MVC, and SQL Server.

The portal integrates citizen engagement, event management, notifications, certificates, rewards, and administrative master data into one system. This enables AMC to efficiently manage their volunteers, as well as providing citizens an easy way to engage in civic activities.

Centralize Volunteer & Event Management

Citizens are able to manage their participation in various civic events by using the portal, including checking for eligibility and event capacity, as well as registering for suitable events.

Improve Citizen Participation & Recognition

The platform enables citizens to manage their profiles, keep track of applications and participation, get notifications, and even access their certificates and rewards. There are also QR digital ID cards that provide users with an accessible identification document.
