Investing Across Borders. Mongolia Country Overview. Since 1991, IDA has supported rural development, education, improving the livability of Ulaanbaatar, ensuring sound management within the mining sector, sustainable infrastructure development in southern Mongolia, environmental protection, policy development and air pollution abatement measures. The overall goal of the rural program has been to reduce the vulnerability of herders to pastoral risk as well as to protect and extend gains made to provide relief in cases of climate emergencies, micro-finance, telecommunications and social services to rural residents.
The new livestock insurance regime is being scaled up nation-wide to protect herders from the vulnerability of natural and environmental risks. This project also improves the country’s risk management system. The SLP is also helping more than 127,287 herder families improve their pastoral management skills. In the energy sector, the amount of overall system losses for electricity distribution companies continues to decline. Enterprise Surveys. Women, Business and the Law. Business Planet.
