Tbilisi. In 2013, Georgia successful launched the process of proactively disclosing public information. Now it is especially important that state agencies fulfill their obligations and raise existing standards in order to achieve an even higher degree of transparency.

''IDFI periodically monitors public agency websites in order to evaluate their compliance with the obligations of proactive disclosure. Towards the end of 2014, we conducted a large scale monitoring of mandatory public information from 2013-2014 available on websites of 133 public agencies, and provided public agencies with specific recommendations for improvement.

The latest monitoring was conducted in May 1-15, 2016. This time, we monitored the websites of the Government Administration and 16 Ministries, and looked for public information from 2015 and the first quarter of 2016. The study examines the practice of proactive disclosure of mandatory public information and compares the results with those of the previous 2014 monitoring,'' is noted in the statement.
