Thus, the main goal of introducing a network of information centers in Lithuania, Latvia
and Estonia is to help people get better and more efficiently high quality, understandable
information on all economic and social issues: consumer, social, civil, patients' rights, etc. The
emphasis is on impartial counseling which will help develop the literacy of citizens, which in
turn is one of the most important values of this information system.
The goal of developing a network of information services is to advise residents of the
Baltic region on issues related to utilities, housing, health care, family, work, taxes, debts,
inform them about access to social services, support from government agencies, municipalities

- Provide access to various sources of information and channels
- To ensure awareness of citizens in the field of consumer protection

media monitoring, monitoring of commerce, sociological research.
However, it should be note that despite the development of their own institutions and

considers investments in the field of information technologies as investments, first, in society,
