Launching the “Digital Yangon” Mobile Application
On March 25, 2019, Yangon Region Government and Digital economy Development Committee (DEDC), collaborating with accountable departments in Kyauk Ta Dar Township, reportedly held the launching event of Digital Yangon Mobile Application at Kyauk Ta Dar Township General Administration Office’s Meeting hall.
It is a useful mobile application with a homepage where users can access the information released by government officials and also contains a function that allows users to contact and inform the accountable government departments about the unfavorable situations and conditions by simply taking a photo and sending to them. The application is available in Burmese and English, in both Zawgyi and Unicode fonts.

Just like on facebook, users can “like”, “comment” and “share” the news and posts on Yangon Digital’s homepage, and under “Documents” session, certain rules and regulations are described, namely, Educational Technology, Yangon City Development Law, Protection of the Citizen for the Personal Freedom and Personal Security Law, etc.

For the convenience of users to contact the right department, a variety of different options are included under “Channels” menu, such as Garbage Collection, Electric Line, Old Vehicles, General and Water Pipeline, etc., so the users can easily message the responsible department and inform their issues properly.

For example, if there is a damaged pipeline in your neighborhood, you can just take the photo of the damaged pipeline, mentioning the detailed location and situation and send the message via the “Pipeline” channel. Soon, you will receive a ticket number and also the information provided by the accountable team. So, just make sure to turn on the GPS and access to internet connection when you use this application.
You can install Digital Yangon Mobile Application in Play Store and register by filling your phone number, name and address. After registration, a 6-digit code will be sent via message and you will have to use it when you log into your account.
