The second phase accentuates on developing the test cases for each indicator (of the devised scale) to collect the citizen’s feedback. The third phase refers to test run the approach in the selected government bodies. Since the approach is result-oriented, the reports on the basis of generated results are delivered to the stakeholders to initiate learning process.
