Open Government Partnership - Armenia

The two-week public comment period for the Independent Reporting Mechanism's Year 1 Progress Report for Armenia's third action plan closed April 13, 2018.

In 2018, the Independent Reporting Mechanism (IRM) published the Year 1 progress report for Armenia’s third action plan. The report covers the first year of action plan implementation: August 2016 through September 2017.

In Armenia, the findings from the IRM researcher, Tatevik Margaryan, are summarized below:

"Armenia’s third action plan includes several open data initiatives aimed to improve transparency of government spending and service provision. However, commitments are too limited in scope to lead to significant changes. Moving forward, the government needs to consider working with a wide range of CSOs and the Parliament to develop more ambitious commitments that lead to sustainable reforms in public budgeting, government contracts and company ownership."
