The LEWS system continues to receive international development support from the World Bank. A number of government agencies1 in Mongolia are now tasked with creating and distributing information on weather risk and weather forecasts, but with little coordination and no clearly defined goals on how to reach end-users. In this context, information and knowledge products are being produced, but they are not reaching local communities, herder households, local administrators, and first responders who can utilize such necessary information. 1 The National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA); the National Agency of Meteorology and Environment Management (NAMEM); the Ministry of Environment and Green Development (MEDG); aimag Governors’ Offices; aimag agriculture and veterinary extension workers, and soum governments. 3 Mercy Corps LTS2 Semi-annual Report (Oct 1, 2017 – March 31, 2018) From June 2013 to September 2014, the Office of U.S. Foreign Disaster Assistance (OFDA) supported Mercy Corps’ efforts to address this communication breakdown through training and information delivery systems. The Leveraging Tradition and Science in Disaster Risk Reduction in Mongolia (LTS) project evaluated existing DRR and disaster management systems, connected local communities to weather information, trained local administrative units in emergency management planning and tested a mobile messaging platform, called the Advanced Weather Information service (AWI) that enabled herding communities to access, interpret, and apply weather forecast information to their management practices. The LTS project theorized that there was strong demand for information and for management tools that could improve planning, mitigation, and management of risks of extreme weather events like dzud, or severe winters in which thousands of livestock are lost due to cold and starvation. This demand was later validated through effective program implementation. Working closely with local partners and key national emergency management actors, LTS introduced planning tools that are simple to implement; provided increased understanding of available weather information; and identified opportunities for significant improvement in dzud preparation and response through simple management tools and improved information flows. LTS demonstrated that herders are eager to access more information and better tools to support improved dzud preparation and risk mitigation. Expanding upon our initial work, the LTS2 project has focused on accomplishing four goals: 1) further institutionalization of AWI; 2) improved use of rangeland carrying capacity information distributed through SMS for herders and local communities; 3) improved rangeland management/planning at the aimag and soum- level to prevent and mitigate dzud/drought; and 4) the introduction of local communities to sustainable mitigation activities based on Livestock Emergency Guidelines and Standards (LEGS) to address effects of dzud on individuals, households, and local/rural communities. Mercy Corps is implementing the LTS2 project in collaboration with the National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA) and MOFALI (Ministry of Food, Agriculture and Light Industry). PROJECT IMPLEMENTATION AND OUTCOMES This semi-annual report covers the period from October 1, 2017 to March 31, 2018, during which the program focused on: handing over the AWI server to NEMA; signing a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the National Agency of Meteorology and Environmental Monitoring (NAMEM); adding NAMEM contents to AWI; providing LEGS trainings and conducting LEGS retention tests; compiling a new, improved template for the Soum Disaster Plan approved by NEMA; and organizing a Stakeholder meeting on Dec 20, 2017.

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.

  • (LAMP): Ways and Benefits of CSO Involvement in GAFSP Mongolia Project I
    The Livestock and Agricultural Marketing Project (LAMP): Ways and Benefits of CSO Involvement in GAFSP Mongolia Project I. Introduction Mongolia, a vast country of 1.56 million square kilometers, is home to 15 times more livestock than people. It has over 2.7 million human population and 43 million livestock as of 2010. The transformation of Mongolia after the collapse of the Soviet Union from collective socialism to a market economy disrupted urban and rural livelihoods, ultimately leading to increased urban poverty and food insecurity. In the last decade, while the government’s agricultural and rural development program has met with some success, the poverty level has persisted above 30%. The agriculture sector, which accounted for 15% of Mongolia’s Gross Domestic Product (GDP) in 2010 and provides livelihood to about 40% of the population, promises to be the avenue for addressing poverty. The livestock-based industry contributes to around 10% of all export revenues. But Mongolia has been unable to take advantage of its exportation of meat and other by-products due to several constraints. On average, the export price for Mongolian meat is three to four times lower than the price commanded by Australian meat exports. The domestic market, with the expansion of more formal retailing outlets 2 LAMP: Ways and Benefits of CSO Involvement in GAFSP Mongolia Project | March 2018 such as supermarkets, offers another opportunity for growth for the livestock industry. Clearly, there is a need to strengthen linkages between producers and markets, and that is the goal of the Livestock and Agricultural Marketing Project (LAMP).

SHAVERDO, A.E.Z. SHORT & E. DAVAADORJ Abstract Sixty-four species of the water beetle family Dytiscidae were collected from 84 localities in the north- central part of Mongolia, in the basin of the Selenge River, during 2003–2006. Twenty species and one subspecies of Dytiscidae are recorded from Mongolia for the first time. According to the present study and literature data, 87 species of Dytiscidae are currently known from Mongolia. Key words: Coleoptera, Dytiscidae, faunistics, Mongolia. Introduction The dytiscid fauna of Mongolia is relatively well known due to the works of BELLSTEDT (1985), BRANCUCCI (1982), BRINCK (1943), GUÉORGUIEV (1965, 1968, 1969, 1972), and more recent Dr. Hildegard studies (FERY 2003, SHAVERDO 2004, SHAVERDO & FERY 2001). WINKLER Nonetheless, new faunistic data and new species of Dytiscidae were obtained recently through the “Selenge River Basin Expeditions, 2003–2006” (FERY & PETROV 2006, SHAVERDO & FERY Fachgeschäft und 2006). Buchhandlung The aim of this paper is to report the faunistic results of the Dytiscidae collected during the “Selenge River Basin Expeditions, 2003–2006”, and to present a checklist of the Mongolian für Entomologie dytiscids known so far. A similar checklist for the Hydrophilidae has been published by SHORT & KANDA (2006).
