The Case Study is designed to fit into the framework of a multi-day (e.g., weeklong) Trade and Investment Training Course for USAID Economic Growth Officers. It assumes that the Training Course would include approximately three modules to address the role of FDI in the developing world, i.e., current characteristics, benefits and costs, possible future directions, and key issues in FDI promotion. It further assumes that the course would be made up of 20 or so participants, all with field experience in USAID program design and implementation, and that the Course would be led – for FDI segments – by a facilitator and/or presenter(s) familiar with FDI topics. OBJECTIVES Within the Training Course structure outlined above, Case Study - Mongolia FDI has three objectives. It intends to help participants become better able to: • Understand FDI as a possible driver in economic development. • Analyze the types of constraints that discourage FDI or dilute its benefits. • Define the kinds of practical actions that donor programs might support to stimulate FDI and maximize its impacts. • To make the experience more realistic, the Case Study pursues these objectives in the context of the real-world economy of Mongolia, a low-income country whose needs, attractions and disadvantages for FDI are striking, and thus likely to stimulate interest and useful discussion among participants. APPROACH In order to encourage participants to consider the technical issues of FDI from multiple perspectives, the Case Study adopts a role-play approach. Participants will first be asked to divide themselves up into three Working Groups. Each Working Group will then assume a different identity in addressing Mongolia’s FDI situation, namely: Government of Mongolia policymakers, foreign business people, or USAID technical experts/program planners. A Case Study Scenario and Terms of Reference, provided below, set the stage and outline the tasks to be accomplished by Working Groups. Note, however, that the key deliverable for each Working Group will be a concise oral presentation highlighting its perspective on FDI for Mongolia. Three pauses will be built into the schedule of the Trade and Investment Course, and at each, one Working Group will be called upon to offer its presentation to the other Course participants. Several documents on Mongolia’s economy, private sector and business environment are provided as references for the Working Groups. It is assumed that the USAID Resource Guide Foreign Direct Investment: Putting It to Work in Developing Countries (February 2007 edition) is also available. CASE STUDY SCENARIO Ever since the Trade and Investment Framework Agreement (TIFA) between Mongolia and the United States entered into force in July 2004, the Mongolian government – and foreign companies presently doing business in Mongolia – have been keenly interested in advancing toward signing a full US-Mongolia Free Trade Agreement (FTA). These parties believe that an FTA with the US will improve business conditions and economic performance in Mongolia, stimulate trade and investment with the US and encourage greater engagement in Mongolia on the part of other economic partners. Presentations and discussions at the Mongolia Investor Forum, sponsored by the Institutional Investor in New York in late March 2007, served to further underline the value of a future FTA with the US as an ingredient in a steadily improving future investment picture for Mongolia.1 Accordingly, Mongolia’s policy makers and business leaders want to be proactive, and demonstrate to the US (and to the international business community generally) that Mongolia sees an important strategic role for FDI in its development, offers foreign investors some very attractive opportunities, and is prepared to undertake real reforms to enhance its appeal as an FDI host economy. In doing so, these policymakers and business leaders believe they will both begin to make the case for an FTA with the US – at least as far as investment matters are concerned – and at the same time help stimulate FDI interest domestically and overseas. As a first step, the Government of Mongolia (GoM) and the North American-Mongolia Business Council (NAMBC) have jointly organized a seminar, to be billed as a “Public-Private Dialogue on FDI for Mongolia,” to discuss Mongolia’s critical FDI issues in an open and objective manner. The seminar will run for two days, and will be held in Ulaan Baataar. Attending this “Dialogue” will be a range of key GoM officials concerned with economic management and development planning, senior resident managers of the companies (both domestic and foreign) that are members of the NAMBC, and select representatives of USAID (and other leading donors) known for their expertise and experience in planning and executing economic growth programs. You have been invited to participate in the “Dialogue” seminar. You will do so in your capacity as a GoM policymaker, senior business person, or donor agency technical expert-program 1 The March 2007 Mongolia Investor Forum was an actual event. The Public-Private Dialogue on FDI in Mongolia is a fictitious event created for this case study. MONGOLIA FDI CASE STUDY 3 manager. Apart from listening to presentations and contributing to the overall discussions of the seminar, the “Dialogue” organizers expect you to join those colleagues whose professional profile is like yours and form a Working Group within the seminar – i.e., separate Working Groups for GoM policymakers, NAMBC business people, and USAID technical and program experts. The core work product of your Working Group will be a presentation that you and your colleagues make to the seminar as a whole, addressing critical FDI issues for Mongolia from your professional perspective. Of course, these presentations will need to be fact-based, so the “Dialogue” organizers have assembled a range of important documents for your reference. Good luck! TERMS OF REFERENCE FOR WORKING GROUPS “Dialogue” organizers have outlined a general Terms of Reference for each Working Group to help focus the application of your expertise as you consider Mongolia’s FDI flows and prepare your presentation. Note that each Working Group has a different core theme around which to perform its analysis and develop its perspective on Mongolia’s FDI needs and prospects. Also, in line with your theme, “Dialogue” organizers have also posed a few strategic questions for you to think about as you develop your presentation, but you will want to amend or broaden this list based on your own insights. 1. GOM Policymakers Core theme: Outline what you see as the strategic development role FDI has played in Mongolia’s economy, and how that role might evolve in the future. Key questions: 1. What have been Mongolia’s recent FDI trends and how have these related to the pattern of domestic investment generally? Is this pattern typical for developing countries? 2. Looking across sectors, what have

    AFB/B.28/5 3 October 2016 Adaptation Fund Board Twenty-eighth Meeting Bonn, Germany, 6-7 October 2016 Agenda item 9 REPORT OF THE PORTFOLIO MONITORING MISSION IN MONGOLIA AFB/B.28/5 INTRODUCTION Context and scope of the mission 1. As part of the Knowledge Management (KM) Strategy and the secretariat’s work plan for FY16 which was approved by the Adaptation Fund Board (the Board) at its twenty-fifth meeting (Decision B.25/19), the Adaptation Fund Board secretariat (the secretariat) conducts missions to projects/programmes under implementation to collect and analyze lessons learned through its portfolio. So far, such missions have been conducted in Ecuador, Senegal, Honduras, Nicaragua, Jamaica, Argentina and Uruguay. This report covers the FY16 portfolio monitoring mission that took place in June 2016 in the project “Ecosystem Based Adaptation Approach to Maintaining Water Security in Critical Water Catchments in Mongolia” implemented by the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP). 2. The mission targeted this project for the following reasons: a) it enables to explore implications of the Ecosystem-Based Adaptation (EBA) approach, including its efficiency, effectiveness and sustainability; b) it may allow drawing lessons from the valuation of ecosystem services; c) it may allow taking stock of the arrangements for monitoring and evaluation, and the value of mid-term review in adjusting progress towards results. Methodology 3. The secretariat was represented by a senior climate change specialist and a junior professional associate. An Adaptation Fund Board alternate member was also part of the delegation. The mission was carried out from 12 to 18 June, and included field visits to project sites.

Page 28 Concept Introduction: Air passes have been used for over three decades by the airline and travel industries to facilitate travel within regions by offering a block of several one-way flights at a discount compared to buying the same flights separately. They are typically sold to tourists from outside the region planning a multi-stop itinerary. By selling a package of flights, often on several airlines, air passes can make travel within a region easier and more affordable, enabling tourists to visit more countries. While their overall track record is mixed, air passes have succeeded in the past at stimulating tourism in several regions, particularly regions that were suffering from high one-way air fares. In recent years one-way air fares have declined significantly in most regions, limiting the appeal of air passes.

  • Mongolia: Trade Facilitation and Logistics Development Strategy Report
    Mongolia: Trade Facilitation and Logistics Development Strategy Report The Asian Development Bank has been supporting efforts to reduce poverty and improve livelihoods in the Central Asia Regional Economic Cooperation (CAREC) countries. A major focus of these efforts is improving the transport and trade sectors to spur economic growth and promote social and political cohesion within the region. Improving the efficiency of the CAREC transport corridors will allow these landlocked countries to take full advantage of being transit countries between the surging and dynamic economies of the East and the West. This report, one of a series of nine reports, highlights the substantial challenges that Mongolia needs to overcome and recommends measures to make its transport and trade Mongolia sectors more efficient and cost-competitive. Trade Facilitation and Logistics Development About the Asian Development Bank Strategy Report ADB’s vision is an Asia and Pacific region free of poverty. Its mission is to help its developing member countries substantially reduce poverty and improve the quality of life of their people. Despite the region’s many successes, it remains home to two-thirds of the world’s poor: 1.8 billion people who live on less than $2 a day, with 903 million struggling on less than $1.25 a day. ADB is committed to reducing poverty through inclusive economic growth, environmentally sustainable growth, and regional integration. Based in Manila, ADB is owned by 67 members, including 48 from the region. Its main instruments for helping its developing member countries are policy dialogue, loans, equity investments, guarantees, grants, and technical assistance.

Thanks to positive recent political and economic developments, Mongolia is set for spectacular growth which is becoming noticed globally. And backed by its resource rich landscape of world class deposits, Mongolia has been coined the “Saudi Arabia of Coal” with strong parallels to previous natural resource booms around the world. The Mongol Rally Has Literally Just Begun A rally to attract foreign investment, re-develop the stock exchange, re-urbanize much of the population into sustainable housing and reignite a process to unlock much of the country’s wealth in state owned mineral assets, has brought many foreigners rallying into Ulaanbaatar. The potential for discovery of more world class assets such as Oyu Tolgoi has unlocked a wave of financiers and geologists flooding into Mongolia. But quite simply the fascination of the unknown in a country not very well understood but linked with enormous potential has naturally played into human nature and curiosity – root to many visitors arriving in Ulaanbaatar, financiers and tourists alike. Patriotism and History Underpinning Development Modern humans first arrived in Mongolia over 40,000 years ago and battled through waves of liberation, bloodless democratic revolution and one of the harshest climates on earth, now prospering through a young but developing free- market economy.

  • Aviation and the Role of CAREC a Scoping Study
    Aviation and the Role of CAREC A Scoping Study CAREC was created to foster connectivity. Air transport connectivity facilitates economic development. This Scoping Study seeks to begin to define a potential role for the CAREC program to enhance the region’s effectiveness of aviation. The study provides an analysis of the CAREC region’s current state of aviation, and is structured around three principal components of aviation development: policy and regulation, infrastructure and equipment, and operations. It also describes enabling factors necessary to realize the aviation enhancements CAREC member governments seek. The study provides conclusions and outlines a possible way forward on CAREC aviation to assist in shaping action items and capacity-building activities that underpin aviation’s role in economic development. About the Central Asia Regional Economic Cooperation Program The Central Asia Regional Economic Cooperation (CAREC) Program is a partnership of 11 member countries and development partners working together to promote development through cooperation, leading to accelerated economic growth and poverty reduction. It is guided by the overarching vision of “Good Neighbors, Good Partners, and Good Prospects.” CAREC countries include: Afghanistan, Azerbaijan, the People’s Republic of China, Georgia, Kazakhstan, the Kyrgyz Republic, Mongolia, Pakistan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, and Uzbekistan. About the Asian Development Bank ADB is committed to achieving a prosperous, inclusive, resilient, and sustainable Asia and the Pacific, while sustaining its efforts to eradicate extreme poverty.
