About PCP

Soon after assuming office in 2018, PM Imran Khan had launched the Pakistan Citizen Portal (PCP), aiming to connect Pakistani citizens directly with over 8600 government departments.

In February 2019, PCP was declared the 2nd best government mobile application in the world at the World Government Summit held in Dubai. The same month, PCP became the 7th best application in Google Play Store.
