Appscape

Mobile technology has emerged as a primary tool for governments to serve
their citizens. It has bypassed the need of traditional physical networks for
communications and collaborations. It is also much more affordable and
accessible, thus strengthening the nation through better citizen-
government interaction. To further nourish this interactivity,
NIC has created a repository of more than 730 mobile apps
available through both the Android and iOS platforms.
This issue of Appscape covers some of the more
popular mobile apps launched recently. These
apps belong to different sectors such
as Administration, Development,
Finance, Public Distribution,
Health and Education.
