Improving the quality and accessibility of primary health care in rural areas

Health and medical care sector is one of the areas, in which the great difference in accessibility and quality of services provided in rural and urban regions is evident in Mongolia. One of the consequences of different health-care standard is, for example, the yearly increase in cases of the five most frequent diseases responsible for mortality in rural areas.

Supporting civil society to promote human rights and democratization in Mongolian prisons

Democratization is a gradual and continuous process, which needs to take into account a country’s socio-economic and cultural context.

Mongolia is currently experiencing a construction boom and it has become evident that there is a lack of knowledge regarding the ecological footprint of the construction industry among the stakeholders in this sector. From the design to the materials used and the insulation techniques applied, there is little awareness of how to reduce the environmental impact of the construction process, and lack of knowledge of the economic benefits of environmentally friendly materials and technologies.

Dzud crisis has affected 12 aimags, which were officially declared to be in the disaster stage, and resulted in the loss of more than 7.2 million livestock, equivalent to 16.4% of the national herd of 44 million livestock in 2010. In a country, where 1/3 of the population is nomadic and livestock is integral component of rural livelihoods, particularly for poor and vulnerable herder households, this huge loss is fatal.
