Background and Context 1. The Aimag and Soum Centers Green and Resilient Regional Development Investment Program 1. The development and review of the Indigenous Peoples Planning Framework (IPPF) has been carried out during the Transaction Technical Assistance (TRTA-MON-49430) for the preparation of the Aimag and Soum centers Development Investment Program (ASDIP). 2. The Aimag and Soum Centers Green and Resilient Regional Development Investment Program (ASDIP) will promote local economic development and improve basic urban services in priority Aimags of Mongolia 1. The program will provide physical investments and strengthen existing policy frameworks to support green, inclusive, and competitive territorial development in the targeted areas, and reduce the vulnerability of the country to climate change and further pastureland degradation. The geographically targeted and integrated approach of the program will focus on priority regional - local economic clusters that have the potential to become engines of economic growth and diversification. 3. The ASDIP will be financed with a multitranche financing Facility (MFF) loan modality. Tranche 1 of the Aimag and Soum Development Investment Program (ASDIP) is located in the three western Aimags of Khovd, Uvs, and Bayan-Ulgii of Mongolia. Subsequent Tranches will extend the ASDIP to other Aimags. 4. The four outputs [re-phrased as Strategic Objectives] of the ASDIP are: (i) climate-resilient, low carbon, and attractive aimag and soum centers developed; (ii) rangelands managed for climate resilience, high carbon sequestration, and sustainable herding; (iii) low carbon, climate resilient, and inclusive value chains created and strengthened; and (iv) capacity building and policy development for green territorial development supported. 5. Thus, to facilitate regional and urban economic growth Tranche 1 of the ASDIP will invest in (i) basic urban infrastructure, services, and facilities; and (ii) agrobusiness developments. Output 3 will be implemented by Financial Intermediaries. Activities by outputs are summarized in the below table. 1 An aimag is an administrative subdivision equivalent to province in Mongolia. There are 21 aimags and aimag capitals/centers. A soum is an administrative subunit of an aimag , and its capital is called a soum center. There are 304 soums in Mongolia (not including aimag capitals). Soums have average populations of 4,000 and cover an average land are of 5,000 square kilometers. 1 Table 1: Tranche 1 Outputs and ctivities Activity Description Location Beneficiaries Output 1: Climate -resilient, low carbon, and attractive aimag and soum centers developed Aimag centers' Basic infrastructure, housing, public social Bayan Ulgii, Uvs and Khovd Targeted ger area ger areas amenities (green spaces/playgrounds/community aimag centers residents of Uvs, redevelopment centers) Bayan Ulgii and Khovd aimag centers Aimag centers' Water supply / wastewater / heating / electricity / Bayan Ulgii, Uvs and Khovd Residents of Uvs, infrastructure / communication / flood protection / drainage / solid aimag centers Bayan Ulgii and Facility networks waste - dumpsite Khovd aimag centers Public buildings & Infrastructure for the agro-park and urban areas: Omnogovi (Uvs), Deluun Residents of the infrastructure water supply / wastewater / heating / electricity / (Bayan Ulgii) intersoum centers: development in communication Omnogovi (Uvs), the inter-soum Public buildings: Schools, kindergartens, Deluun (Bayan centers dormitories, health centers, sport complex Ulgii), and people (rehabilitation/improvement/extension of existing living in surrounding facilities) areas using the services of these soum centers.

MONGOLIAN MORALITY IN THE EAST AND THE WEST 3 Abstract Researchers have invested much effort in understanding the development of moral mind within the society one grows in. However, the dynamics of morals in response to environmental change in the case of immigration has received scarce attention in the literature. The present study aims to contribute in understanding to what extent moral standards acquired in the home culture gets modified as a result of acculturation and if yes, which contextual factors can help explain this change.

  • CORE STRENGTH WITHIN MONGOL DIASPORA COMMUNITIES Archaeological Evidence Places Early Stone Age Human Habitation in the Southern
    CORE STRENGTH WITHIN MONGOL DIASPORA COMMUNITIES Archaeological evidence places early Stone Age human habitation in the southern Gobi between 100,000 and 200,000 years ago 1. While they were nomadic hunter-gatherers it is believed that they migrated to southern Asia, Australia, and America through Beringia 50,000 BP. This prehistoric migration played a major role in fundamental dispersion of world population. As human migration was an essential part of human evolution in prehistoric era the historical mass dispersions in Middle Age and Modern times brought a significant influence on political and socioeconomic progress throughout the world and the latter has been studied under the Theory of Diaspora. This article attempts to analyze Mongol Diaspora and its characteristics. The Middle Age-Mongol Diaspora started by the time of the Great Mongol Empire was expanding from present-day Poland in the west to Korea in the east and from Siberia in the north to the Gulf of Oman and Vietnam in the south. Mongols were scattered throughout the territory of the Great Empire, but the disproportionately small number of Mongol conquerors compared with the masses of subject peoples and the change in Mongol cultural patterns along with influence of foreign religions caused them to fell prey to alien cultures after the decline of the Empire. As a result, modern days Hazara communities in northeastern Afghanistan and a small group of Mohol/Mohgul in India, Daur, Dongxiang (Santa), Monguor or Chagaan Monggol, Yunnan Mongols, Sichuan Mongols, Sogwo Arig, Yugur and Bonan people in China are considered as descendants of Mongol soldiers, who obeyed their Khaan’s order to safeguard the conquered area and waited in exceptional loyalty.

  • PRESENT SITUATION of KAZAKH-MONGOLIAN COMMUNITY Ts.Baatar, Ph.D
    The Mongolian Journal of International Affairs Number 8-9, 2002 PRESENT SITUATION OF KAZAKH-MONGOLIAN COMMUNITY Ts.Baatar, Ph.D (Mongolia) The name and identity “kazakh” emerged in the sixteenth century, when a Kazakh Khanate was founded in today’s Kazakhstan. The Kazakh aristocrats trace their origin directly to Chinggis Khan or his sons. In the sixteenth century, ethnic Kazakhs were historically divided into three clans or zhuzes: The senior zhuz, the middle zhuz, and the junior zhuz. Once under the rule of the Oirad Mongols in the seventeenth to eighteen centuries, some middle zhuz Kazakhs later moved into Jungaria. The Kazakhs in Mongolia are mostly Abak-kerei and Naiman Kazakhs who settled in the Altai and Khovd regions, where they rented pasture from the lords of Mongolia during the 1860s according to Tarbagatai Protokol between Russia and Qing Dynasty. The nomads came to graze their sheep on the high mountain pastures during the summer, and spent the winter in Kazakhstan or Xinjiang province in China. After the Mongolian revolution in 1921, a permanent border was drawn by agreement between China, Russia and Mongolia, but the Kazakhs remained nomadic until the 1930s, crossing the border at their own will.1 The word kazakh is said to mean ‘free warrior’ or ‘steppe roamer’. Kazakhs trace their roots to the fifteenth century, when rebellious kinsmen of an Uzbek Khan broke away and settled in present-day Kazakhstan. In Mongolia, more than in Kazakhstan, Kazakh women wear long dresses with stand-up collars, or brightly decorated velvet waistcoats and heavy jewelry. The men still wear baggy shirts and trousers, sleeveless jackets, wool or cotton robes, and a skullcap or a high, tasseled felt hat.2 In 1923 the Mongolian Kazakh population numbered 1,870 households and 11,220 people.3 Subsequently, many more have come to Mongolia from 3 Paul Greenway, Robert Story and Gobriel Lafitte (1997), Mongolia (Lonely Planet Publications), p.231.
