This report is the sixth annual edition published by the Economic Policy and Competitiveness Research Center (EPCRC). The economic development of Mongolia is inconceivable without rural development. In recent years, the topic of economic diversification has been increasingly discussed in Mongolia, and the possibility to diversify the economy are in Mongolia’s 21 provinces. In the process of discussing Mongolia’s economic diversification, many questions and topics have been raised, including: how can these provinces become cornerstones of the development? What sectors should provinces invest in and develop further? What are the strengths and weaknesses of each province? How can provinces cooperate and support each other in their diversification efforts? This report contains provincial profiles and detailed information regarding each of the 21 provinces as well as their competitiveness performances in recent years, as measured and assessed by the EPCRC.

The project will support the development of improved land and pasture management plans to increase environmental protection and livelihood support. Component 1: Strengthening the enabling environment for the sustainable management of drylands in Mongolia. Under Component 1, the project will strengthen cross-sectoral, multi-stakeholder collaboration for integrated land management planning and monitoring. It will also support incorporation of land degradation and biodiversity considerations into the ongoing land management planning process; and will support the ongoing policy reform to promote sustainable land use. Component 2: Scaling up sustainable dryland management in the Eastern Steppe of Mongolia. Under Component 2, the project will strengthen sustainable dryland management in Eastern Mongolia through a three-pronged approach. First, the project will promote environmentally friendly, climate-smart crop and fodder production. Second, the project will work with local herder and forest communities in the target area to implement and scale up sustainable management and restoration of rangelands and forest patches. And third, the project will support partnerships between herder groups/cooperatives, local government and private sector to develop value chains and access to markets for sustainably produced agricultural products. Component 3: Strengthening biodiversity conservation and landscape connectivity.

It heavily affects vegetation and often leads to desertification. It also extends vehicle operating distance and time, resulting high transport cost. 2) Road Condition in Winter Multiple shifting tracks are covered with snow in winter and become slippery due to uneven surface together with compacted snow. Vehicular movement becomes risky and travel speed is forced to decrease considerably. 3) Existing Wooden Bridge Existing wooden bridge is severely deteriorated and danger always exists for heavy vehicles to go across. This is serious cause of disruption for traffic to cross the river. Heavy vehicles go across the river only when the flow is shallow.

    Case study on Education Sector Restructuring and Reforms MFOS/OSF Case: ”Reform, Restructure and Privatization in Education” Contents Case outline Mongolia has nothing to lose by focusing on education Worldwide education reform Where to start Concepts on educational reform and restructuring Creating legal environment conductive to privatization Reform, restructuring and privatization in the educational field Current educational restructuring accomplishments Social duties of educational organizations Conclusions Chronology of education sector privatization and restructuring References Annexes 1 Case study on Education Sector Restructuring and Reforms MFOS/OSF Case: ”Reform, Restructure and Privatization in Education” REFORM, RESTRUCTURE AND PRIVATIZATION IN EDUCATION (Case outline) Prior to 1990, the government spent 25% of the central budget and 64% of the NGP on education. Investment in the education sector was the highest and held special government protection. By 1992, education spending dropped to 33% of NGP due to an economic crisis in the former Soviet Union, Mongolia’s principal economic partner. After the economic crisis, the Government of Mongolia (GOM) could only afford to invest in larger enterprises such as the livestock and crop sectors thus ignoring crucial issues in the social sector. This dramatically shrank social sector investment pushing it into crisis as well. Before 1992, the government spent 2,000 Togrog annually for each secondary school student, and 13,000 Togrog for each student enrolled in a higher education institution. 84.4% of Mongolian citizens had a secondary school education, while only 0.4% had higher education. At that time many countries had started paying exclusive attention to educational institutions, urging reform and restructuring.
