Travelinsights.ai

Despite its long history, Armenia is a relatively new player in global tourism. There is always room for improvement and, who, if not the tourists could tell us what was great and what went wrong during their stay? Click here and explore more

AI in Agriculture

Reducing tax evasion through participatory budgeting

The behavioral experiment is testing whether providing information on the national public good expenditure to taxpayers and involving them in the distribution of taxes affects tax compliance. Click here and explore more

EDU2WORK

Bridging the gap between education and labour market through evidence-based policy-making. Click here and explore more

Experiment in Preventive Healthcare

Using health services to check for cancer is very important. Early diagnosis and prompt treatment have a higher potential for cure. Click here and explore more

Travelinsights.ai

Travelinsights is a human-powered tool that fuses travel storytelling and artificial intelligence. Through real-time analysis and visualisation of the tourist reviews, the tool reveals real travel preferences and on-the-ground issues. 

The tool was primarily created for policy-makers for near real-time data-driven decision making. With the help of this tool, the Government can understand the tourist perception of the Republic of Armenia as a touristic destination and develop an effective marketing strategy. The tool can also help to find the perfect formula for creating superb travel experience in Armenia by telling business the ways for improving their services and environment.

Edu2Work

Understanding and better preparing for the possible future is imperative for countries like Armenia, where there is a chronic mismatch between the labour market supply and demand. Some sectors of the economy are always experiencing lack of qualified workforce, whilst other sectors have an abundance of supply. The reasons are numerous: stereotypes of career choices, almost no consistent link between education and labour market, and absence of flexibility in the schools and universities to produce workforce fit for the 21st-century labour market needs.

The project aims at bridging the gap between education and labour market through:

- scraping online job announcements and foresight analysis
- experimental interventions with Nesta and the Behavioral Insights team
- conducting active awareness raising and in-country capacity building activities.

You've got mail: Increasing the uptake of cervical cancer screenings in Armenia

Using health services to check for cancer is very important. Early diagnosis and prompt treatment have a higher potential for cure.

We designed and implemented a behavioral intervention with behavioral scientists from Zhongnan University of Economics and Law, the University of Venice, and the University of Padova. The experiment was aimed at increasing the take-up rate of cervical cancer screenings in of the regions of Armenia. As it turned out, letters and subsequent reminders drove the biggest change in behavior, we recorded an increase of about 460% of visits compared to the control group that didn’t receive the letter. As a result of the intervention, the pilot region registered the highest rate of screening participation, which is also the highest rate for the whole duration of the national screening program.

Increasing tax compliance through behavioral insights

The behavioral experiment is testing the impact of low-cost behavioral interventions on tax compliance in the Republic of Armenia as a complementary measure to conventional policy instruments (i.e., costly audits and fines).

No plastic bags, please

The Government of Armenia persistently strives to reduce the consumption of plastic in Armenia. In this regard, various governmental and non-governmental organizations run different public communication campaigns to promote eco-conscious behavior.

Intervention: The aim of the experiment was to investigate the drivers behind the reduction of plastic bag consumption by comparing costless behavioral interventions with more traditional interventions that change the financial incentives of individuals.

Barev Balik

Improvement of maternal and child health is an important SDG target and a global development priority to which also relates Armenia with its most recent Government Plan.

Barev Balik aims at modernizing and improving the maternal healthcare system in Armenia through the development of maternal mobile health (mHealth) app/portal. The digital solution will provide information and services to parents and parents-to-be in prenatal and postpartum periods.

AI for Mulberry

The on-line digital services for the correspondence with public institutions is dramatically underused in Armenia. As a result, a lot of paper documents are circulated, which hinders the efficiency of public institutions (as it takes time to process these documents manually), harms the environment, and results in economic losses (as individuals stay in queues for a long time and forgo productive working hours).

Our AI algorithm automates the classification of the letters (requests, complaints, recommendations) addressed to the Government as well as analysis to increase operational performance as well as increase the savings and productivity of the unit itself and in the ministries. Additionally, a behavioral experiment will be held to increase trust towards e-request — unified portal for online requests.

AI in Agriculture

In the past, agricultural producers in Armenia have harvested yield, collected knowledge about soil and weather conditions through trial and error. Even today, in our over-digitalized world, many farmers choose what to plant and when to harvest their crops based on traditions and rough estimates.
To introduce innovative digital data collection and information management system to agriculture, we plan to:

- Develop a real-time agricultural data register with the help of new technologies such as satellite and drone imagery, which will be verified on the ground by agricultural experts or farmers;
- Use remote-sensing technology artificial intelligence and aerial imagery for crop growth monitoring.
