  • Narrative Report on Study Tour of Mongolian Delegates to Jaipur
    A Study Tour of Municipal Government Official from Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia to Jaipur, India Organised by CUTS International With the support of The Asia Foundation, India December 08-10, 2015 Introduction Mongolia is a landlocked country in east-central Asia. It is bordered by Russia to the north and China to the south, east and west. While they do not share a border, Mongolia is separated from Kazakhstan by only 36.76 kilometres (22.84 mi). Ulaanbaatar, the capital and largest city, is home to about 45 percent of the population. Mongolia is divided into 21 provinces (aimags), which are in turn divided into 329 districts (sums). The capital Ulaanbaatar is administrated separately as a capital city (municipality) with provincial status. Thus being a federal municipality, the city is not part of any province. Ulaanbaatar is divided into nine districts: Baganuur, Bagakhangai, Bayangol, Bayanzürkh, Chingeltei, Khan Uul, Nalaikh, Songino Khairkhan, and Sükhbaatar. Each district is subdivided into Khoroos, of which there are 121. The capital and provinces have Citizens’ Representative Meeting (Local parliament) elected every 4 years. Governors exercise executive power in the capital and provinces and are appointed by the Prime Minister as recommended by Citizens’ Representative Meetings. Local administrations provide support for Governors. CUTS International with the support of The Asia Foundation (TAF) organised a three- day study tour for the Municipal Officials from the city of Ulaanbaatar of Mongolia. A 15- member delegation along with two representatives from TAF India visited Jaipur from December 07-11, 2015. 1 Objective The purpose of the study tour was to enhance capacities of the government officials with respect to informed decision making, community participation and implementation of activities for service improvement in their respective areas through exposure to relevant areas in India.

However, mercury, chromium, zinc, and strontium in the soil have increased in previous years. According to the results of the heavy metals monitoring of soil quality in Bayan-Ulgii, Dornogovi, Dornod, Dundgovi, Uvurkhangai, Umnugovi, Sukhbaatar and Khentii aimags, it is normalized to exceed the MNS 5850: 2008 standard.

The main pollutants are metal products such as petroleum, lead, zinc and chromium. Bayan nexus point: cadmium content was 4.6 mg/kg, lead content was 680.5 mg/kg, or 580.5 mg/kg from the maximum permissible level and reached toxic levels.

  • Capacity Development Project for Air Pollution Control in Ulaanbaatar City Phase 2 in Mongolia Technical Manual 06 PM10
    Mongolia Air Pollution Reduction Department (APRD) Capacity Development Project for Air Pollution Control in Ulaanbaatar City Phase 2 in Mongolia Technical Manual 06 PM10 and PM2.5 Measurement and PM Composition Analysis Manual September 2016 Japan International Cooperation Agency SUURI-KEIKAKU CO., LTD. Capacity Development Project for Air Pollution Control in Ulaanbaatar City Phase 2 in Mongolia Technical Manual 06 PM10 and PM2.5 Measurement and PM Composition Analysis Manual Introduction In this project JICA Experts have planned filter sampling of PM10 and PM2.5 of the ambient air at some sites in every season and analyze the components of the samples. JICA Experts will use the result for identification of PM sources throughout the year including winter season when the air pollution is severe and achieve information which will be useful for the policy making. Samplings and composition analysis of 120 points in total are scheduled in 3 years from 2014 to 2016. Considering the matters of power source and security, sampling points were selected from 10 local monitoring stations (6 stations of CLEM and 4 stations of APRD (AQDCC)) in UB City. And JICA Expert Team also used one local residence in northern gel area, Chingeltei from December 2014. Mass concentration of PM10 and PM2.5 is calculated by comparing the mass weight of sampled filter from before to after sampling. Major chemical compositions of PM are various elements, carbon components, and water soluble ionic species. However, analysis instruments were not in Mongolian country, above samples of filter on which PM was collected were used for composition analysis in Japan.

    MONGOLIA : COVID-19 PREPAREDNESS SITREP # 19 FLOW MONITORING AT MAJOR CHECKPOINTS OF ULAANBAATAR 17-Mar-2020 (Data collected: 08:00 hrs Feb 27th - 24:00 hrs March 16th, 2020) 12:00 (GMT+8) The Mongolian Government has taken early and very active measures to prevent and stop an eventual spread of the COVID-19. Besides closing all the educational institutions starting with January 27th and imposing international travel restrictions that are expanding along with the growing number of countries affected by COVID-19 globally, on 13 February 2020 the government also declared state of high alert. To prevent a possible spread of COVID during the Mongolian Lunar New Year (February 24-26, 2020), the Emergency Commission restricted all travel between aimags (provinces), as well as incoming and outgoing flows in the capital city. Ulaanbaatar is by far the biggest urban settlement in Mongolia concentrating almost half of the country’s population. It is a major destination, transition point and origin for population movements and as such may represent a powerful source for spreading COVID-19 to the entire country. To increase its preparedness and also an eventual response to COVID-19, the Governor’s Office of the Capital City has requested the assistance of International Organization for Migration, Mission to Mongolia (IOM) to take evidence of all the incoming and outgoing flows of people by implementing its Displacement Tracking Matrix (DTM) methodology. Based on a joint agreement to implement DTM between IOM and the Governor’s Office of the Capital City, a total of over 300 health and education system personnel have been trained as data enumerators and technical assistance was provided to set up the overall data collection and analysis framework.

  • Economic Analysis
    Sustaining Access to and Quality of Education During Economic Difficulties Project (RRP MON 50091) ECONOMIC ANALYSIS A. Sector Context and Economic Rationale 1. The Government of Mongolia assigns high priority to education, spending 7.5% of the gross domestic product or 15.1% of total government expenditures in 2016. Five years of primary education and 4 years of junior secondary education are compulsory and provided free of charge. Of the total 768 schools, 636 or 82.8% are public. Three free years of pre-primary education are provided at public kindergartens (826 or 64.1% of kindergartens). In SY2015 the net enrollment rate (NER) reached 74.4% for pre-primary education, 96.3% for primary education, 94.1% for junior secondary education, and 68.7% for senior secondary education.1 Severe cuts in the education budgets in 2017 and beyond, however, greatly constrain the government’s capacity to sustain access to and quality of education, which has been deteriorating partly due to the growth of kindergartner and school-age population. 2. The deterioration in access to and quality of education is due to the lack of available seats at schools and kindergartens. From SY2012 to SY2015, student enrollment in schools increased by 7.8%, outpacing the rate of increase in the number of schools (1.7%). Enrollments in kindergartens have grown more dramatically, by 24.5%, though 343 more kindergartens (36.3% increase) have been built to offset the enrollment growth. Ulaanbaatar saw a particularly significant expansion in student enrollment, recording an 18.1% increase in schools and a 41.5% surge in kindergartens, largely because of rural–urban migration.

Outstanding needs: CHF 101,905 Related Emergency or Annual Appeals: Emergency Appeal, Snowfalls (02/2003) Programme Summary: Progress on activities outlined in the annual appeal is, in most cases, going according to plan. The disaster management programme has implemented a number of its objectives through the snowfalls emergency appeal (02.2003) which has also highlighted a number of areas for improvement.
