Development of a Multilingual Mobile E-Learning Platform for Customs and Trade Regulations

Rapid changes in customs tariffs and regulations require comprehensive and current knowledge for customs officers worldwide. Existing training tools are outdated or inefficient, making it challenging for personnel in different regions and languages to stay informed. There is a need for an accessible, user-friendly digital platform that consolidates learning resources, quizzes, and procedural updates, accessible across devices and tailored to diverse user groups, including the general public and official customs staff.

A governmental organization responsible for customs regulation and enforcement, aiming to enhance training and knowledge dissemination among customs officers and the public globally.
