  • Gender Guidelines to Be Distributed in All 330 Districts of Mongolia Pilot Study Supports National Roll-Out of Participatory Land Use Planning
    Gender guidelines to be distributed in all 330 districts of Mongolia Pilot study supports national roll-out of participatory land use planning By Dr. Elizabeth Daley, Mr. Batsaikhan, J. and Ms. Lkhamdulam, N. Dr. Elizabeth Daley is Team Leader of the global WOLTS project and a Principal Consultant with MokoroLtd, a UK-based not-for-profit organisation; she also serves independently as a Board Member of the Land Portal Foundation. Mr. Batsaikhan, J., is Director of the Land Management Department of Mongolia’s Agency for Land Administration and Management, Geodesy and Cartography (ALAMGAC). Ms. Lkhamdulam, N., is Managing Director of the Mongolian NGO, People Centered Conservation (PCC). Sound, sustainable land management is critical to the long-term viability of Mongolia’s traditional herding way of life. And careful planning at local level, in a participatory and gender-inclusive way, is needed to underpin that. In August 2018, Mongolia’s Agency for Land Administration and Management, Geodesy and Cartography (ALAMGAC), embarked on a formal collaboration to develop ‘gender guidelines’ for such local planning processes with the Women’s Land Tenure Security project (WOLTS) of Mokoro Ltd (UK) and Mongolian project partner, People Centered Conservation (PCC). At that time, the WOLTS team was carrying out research on the intersection of gender, land, mining and pastoralism in several soums (districts) of Mongolia. One of these – Dalanjargalan (in Dornogobi aimag (region)) – was one of the first soums taking part in ALAMGAC’s national roll-out of broader guidelines for medium-term land © WOLTS Team management planning, using a participatory approach to natural resource mapping already developed by ALAMGAC.

It is the world’s largest ‘fossil’ water aquifer system. This gigantic reservoir faces heavy demands from agriculture and for drinking water, and the amount drawn out could double in the next 50–100 years. Climate change is expected to add significant stress due to rising temperatures as well as changes in precipitation patterns, inland evaporation and salinization. Groundwater has been identified as the biggest and in some cases the only future source of water to meet growing demands and the development goals of each NSAS country, and evidence shows that massive volumes of groundwater are still potentially available. Since the 1960s, groundwater has been actively pumped out of the aquifer to support irrigation and water supply needs. Over-abstraction has already begun in some areas, which leads to significant drawdowns and can induce salinization. In the approximately 20 000 years since the last glacial period, the aquifer has been slowly draining; the system faces low recharge rates in some areas, while others have no recharge at all.
