In this regard, Ehsaas is currently structuring and integrating One Window Ehsaas, a single-service operation, to avoid duplication and ensure better access to cross-sector Ehsaas initiatives.
“The Ehsaas strategy aims to create ‘One-Window Ehsaas’ to enable rules-based delivery of multiple Ehsaas programs from a single window,” said Dr. Nishtar.
The initiative includes Ehsaas centers with physical windows, linked Ehsaas services through Ehsaas’ eportal, the Ehsaas Android app, provision of a cognitive API architecture for data exchange, standardization of recipient targeting and targeting of the populations into program recipients, ”she added.
The first opening of the “Physical One Window Ehsaas Center” in Islamabad will be a one-stop shop bringing together all Ehsaas programs under one roof.
The center allows beneficiaries to have information in one place about all of the Ehsaas benefits and services available to them.
The Ehsaas e-portal will also be a central point of contact with links to all information and services related to Ehsaas. The Ehsaas app available on the Google Play store will be an Android application.
Ehsaas is currently building a new database for the standardized recipient orientation as part of the Ehsaas National Socio-Economic Register (NSER) study.
