Today the UNDP Resident Representative Ms. Consuelo Vidal signed a
Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the Chairman of the Court of
Cassation of the Republic of Armenia Hovhannes Manukyan to support
access of the Armenian public to judiciary information, judicial acts
and courts' verdicts.
Since 2003 UNDP and the Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation
have promoted participatory policymaking in Armenia through
establishing countrywide interactive e-governance systems and an
information society. The focus has been on enhancing the efficiency,
accessibility, and accountability of public administration at the
regional and local levels. The support has translated into free access
to public information, and improved services provided to the public
by the regional authorities and local self-governance bodies.
The current project aims at enhancing participation in the country,
by providing ICT-enabled mechanisms for accessing the judicial
branches of the government, and contribute in this way, to increase
the transparency of the judiciary.
The UNDP Resident Representative said in her remarks: "Participation
is one of the priority issues for UNDP and the Government of
Armenia. Information technologies facilitate the dissemination of
information, provide access to the government and are the perfect
conduit for citizen-government interaction.
This is key for ensuring transparency and accountability." And the
Chairman of the Court of Cassation highlighted the following: "The key
pillars of the second phase of the judiciary reforms are considered the
principles of public awareness and information accessibility. This is
why we sign today this memorandum of understanding with our partners."
