PanARMENIAN.Net - On November 18-20, 60 participants of Social
Innovation Camp (Mardamej) worked out and presented 6 projects, one
of them titled Monitoring platform for election pledges. The team
of 10 members created ukrupnenie.com website aimed at monitoring
politicians' election promises.
The website comprises following sections: orientation, promises,
ranking and mardamej.
The first section provides politicians' answers to certain questions,
helping citizens to make the right choice in presidential elections.
The second section enables users to post promises by various
politicians and further see whether they are kept or not.
The ranking section comprises politicians' biographies. This section
like the previous ones enables users to leave comments.
Mardamej section is devoted to the analysis of those politicians'
activities that fail to keep their promises.
In a conversation with a PanARMENIAN.Net reporter, project coordinator
Aram Tovmasyan noted the project as a feasible one.
Mardamej SICamp is financed by United Nations Development Program
(UNDP) and United States Agency for International Development (USAID)
with contribution by Internews Armenia and SICamp founders.
