AUTHORITY OF MONGOLIA The MRPAM provides support to development of state policy on geology, mining and petroleum, to deliver effective and efficient services to investors and increase competitiveness of the sector and its contribution to overall economic development of Mongolia by implementing state policies. We, in the year of 2016, have implemented government decisions and policies and tried to make our operations faster and more open and transparent, yet with less bureaucracy, using advanced information technology, and improved our services to business enterprises and citizens in line with relevant law and legistlation. Having introduced the 2016 Annual report of the Mineral Resources and Petroleum Authority of Mongolia, we are also presenting the works planned under the State Policy on Minerals and The Government Action Programme for upcoming years including goals and objectives to be achieved. We will give extensive attention to mineral resource revenue management in line with international good practices, as well as to improve institutional cooperation and coordination and access to information, and to promote responsible mining and investment by increasing competitiveness of the sector. We are confident that our cooperation will prosper after you have learned our anticipated goals and objectives for the coming years. 3 MINERAL RESOURCES AND PETROLEUM AUTHORITY CONTENTS OF MONGOLIA Foreword 3 CHAPTER I.

There is a series of arguments that decentralization of governments enhances growth by improving allocation efficiency. However, the empirical studies have shown mixed results for industrialized and developing countries and some of them have demonstrated that there might be a threshold level of economic development below which decentralization is not effective. Developing and transition countries have developed a variety of forms of fiscal decentralization as a possible strategy to achieve effective and efficient governmental structures. A generalized principle of decentralization due to the country specific circumstances does not exist. Therefore, decentra- lization has taken place in different forms in various countries at different times, and even exactly the same extent of decentralization may have had different impacts under different conditions.

  • CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION 1.1 Introduction
    CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION 1.1 Introduction Transport plays a crucial role in the efficient functioning of the domestic economy as well as development of international trade due to dependence on both coal-based energy production and imports. However, the issues in the transport sector of Mongolia are mainly derived from the salient features of a landlocked country with a low population and a long distance between population centers. A major characteristics of transportation in Mongolia is the collection and distribution by road of both passenger traffic and cargo transport from the north-south transport axis centering on Ulaanbaatar. The main north-south axis comprises both rail and road. Within road transport, the density of arterial road network remains very low and unpaved earth roads or multiple shifting tracks occupy a large portion of arterial roads. More than 30% of population and a half of national car ownership are concentrated in Ulaanbaatar City, while very low level of mobility is found in rural area because non-motorized traffic such as horse and cart prevails. Recently, such gap of mobility level is increasing. Under such circumstances, in response to the request of the Government of Mongolia (hereinafter referred to as "GOM"), the Government of Japan decided to conduct the Feasibility Study on Construction of Eastern Arterial Road in Mongolia (hereinafter referred to as "the Study"), in accordance with the relevant laws and regulations in force in Japan. Japan International Cooperation Agency (hereinafter referred to as "JICA"), the official agency responsible for the implementation of the technical cooperation programs of the Government of Japan, dispatched the preparatory study team headed by Mr.
