In 2015 the Freedom of Information Centre of Armenia (FOICA) submitted a written information request to 84 state bodies asking to provide the list of service vehicles, their state numbers, and the model of each vehicle operated by the given state agency. The received information was summarized and published in the FOICA’s web resources www.givemeinfo.am and www.padavat.am, which is a public monitoring platform for service vehicles.

This is complete information that enables citizens and journalists to monitor and watchdog how fairly service vehicles are used by state agencies and officials. Whether they are used for personal purposes or for fulfilling their official duties. The number of official vehicles allows journalists to find out cases of abuse of power and widely publicize them.
