Azerbaijan Journalists’ Investigative Network has been established with the initiative of OSI-AF Azerbaijan’s Transparency and Media programs. The conditions that made the establishment of the Network inevitable, was the absence of any union of investigative journalists in Azerbaijan and the scattered activity of journalists in investigative work. Taking into consideration the sharp increase of oil revenues, as well as the state budget year by year, AJIN has put before itself goals, such as attracting public attention around public resources, as well as publicizing the activities of agencies working for transparency and efficiency of public resources.
