FEATURED

The program, implemented with the support of the RSF, successfully enhanced the professional skills of Artsakh journalists. It helped them become more competitive in the labor market, establish connections with the journalistic field in Armenia, and improve their professional abilities.
State bodies are now utilizing the form for summarizing statistical data on information requests, developed by FOICA. These statistics provide insights into the transparency and accountability of public bodies, as well as the effectiveness of intellectual property rights protection.
Thanks to two years of efforts of FOICA and active cooperation with partners, the Concept and the Action Plan of the Struggle against Disinformation 2024-2026 were adopted. The documents were developed by the Freedom of Information Center of Armenia.
