Tackling disinformation: ‘iVerify Armenia’ platform launched in Armenia

An EU-funded platform dedicated to tackling disinformation and fake news was launched in Armenia last month ahead of the parliamentary elections on 7 June.

The ‘iVerify Armenia’ platform offers citizens a simple way to submit stories and information for fact-checking and verification.

The platform has been developed under the ARTEMIS project, and was implemented by a consortium of the Media Initiatives Centre, Hetq and CivilNet. It is designed to contribute to efforts to identify and address misinformation and improve transparency in the information environment.

To be part of building a more resilient and informed public space in Armenia, please, visit iVerify.am to submit a story or claim for verification.

The UNDP’s ARTEMIS (‘Advancing Reforms for Transparent and Inclusive Management of Electoral Systems in Armenia’)  project is funded by the European Union, Germany, Norway, Sweden, Canada, Netherlands, and the Central Electoral Commission of Armenia.
