Transforming Government since 2001

MN: Mongolei / Mongolia

  • Mongolia’s E-Governance Quest

    In the last decade, Mongolia showed progress in e-governance, but there’s more yet to do.

    Mongolia’s e-governance is a topic often overshadowed by the cyber activities of the country’s large neighbors — Russia and China. However, the coronavirus pandemic gave an advantage to the Mongolian government in implementing long-overdue digital governance practices. Mongolia’s implementation of e-governance services, known as “E-Mongolia,” will enhance public services, maximize efficiency, and most importantly, diminishing the deep-rooted bureaucracy and nepotism that have been impeding government services for some time.

  • IN: Kerala: Thiruvananthapuram: From Mongolia, to study Akshaya

    An international delegation comprising 17 members from the Mongolian Government is in the city to learn about Akshaya as part of the overall study tour to the country to learn about e-governance activities.

    The delegation was guided by the Department of Information Technology (DIT), Government of India, to visit Akshaya to study the model as a one-stop-shop for citizen services.

    The delegation was led by Nyamjav Darja, Deputy Chief, Cabinet Secretariat, Government of Mongolia. Felix Fellmann, Country Director and Diepak Elmer, Governance Programme Manager of Swiss Co-operation Office of the Embassy of Switzerland, were also part of the delegation.

  • MN: Sky-high ICT goals

    Cabinet approval for Mongolia’s first satellite in late 2012 makes clear the height of the country’s ambitions for improving information and communications technology (ICT) provisions. Although a satellite launch is an ambitious objective, improving on-the-ground infrastructure will prove to be just as significant, and as challenging.

    In November, the cabinet approved the “National Satellite for Communications of Mongolia” project, the centrepiece of a collection of goals identified as part of a national vision to transform the economy into a knowledge-based economy by 2021.

  • Mongolia initiates e-procurement rollout

    Mongolia will take all of its government tendering online by the end of 2013 in an ambitious e-government programme.

    Supported by the Korean International Cooperation Agency (KOICA), the World Bank and the Asian Development Bank, all government contract bids will go through an e-shopping and e-bidding system which will be operational by the end of 2011.

    Two government agencies have been selected to pilot an e-bidding scheme, but the programme is expected to be completed by the end of 2013, when all procurement will be conducted entirely online.

  • Mongolia to Roll Out New Smart I.D Card System

    At its regular meeting on March 9, the Cabinet decides to renew current ID system with the electronic ID system.

    The new ID card with embedded microchip will contain all personal data on the security chip and numbers and the database will be linked to agencies such as the Election Commission, Tax Department, Military Recruitment body etc.

    The new card with biometric facial and fingerprint systems will allow Mongolian authorities to identify people with speed and accuracy, the First Deputy Premier Altankhuyag said.

  • Mongolia: Even Remote Baghs to Go Online

    A project primarily funded by the World Bank, with help from Japan, to upgrade information and communications services in Mongolia has completed its first year. There are five more years to go. World Bank officials announced at a press conference on June 28 that in the coming year over 85 soums in the country would have access to mobile telephones and online services, and the figure will rise to 300 in two years.

  • Mongolia: New telemedicine center opens in Ulaanbaatar, will provide phone access for medical care

    A telemedicine center has opened in Ulaanbaatar in the Scientific Center for Mother and Infant.

    The center will allow Mongolians who must travel great distances to see a doctor to, instead, receive medical assistance via the telephone.

  • Mongolia: WB Supports Development of Information & Communications Infrastructure in Rural Areas

    The World Bank’s Board (International Development Association) has approved an investment grant of US$ 8 million for the Information and Communications Infrastructure Development Project (ICIDP). The project aims to significantly increase the coverage and use of relevant information and communications technology (ICT) among the rural population and improve e-government services by encouraging private sector participation in information communication services in Mongolia.

    ICT infrastructure in rural areas is the most challenged issue in Mongolia. Although teledensity in Mongolia has increased substantially for past ten years, there are virtually no services available outside of the soum (sub-provincial district) centers. At the bagh (village) level, the vast majority of residents are seasonally nomadic. Over 90 percent of all subscribers of telecommunications are in the capital, provincial capitals, and large districts. Ulaanbaatar itself accounts for over 60 percent.

  • New city to be built on territory of Mongol Empire's ancient capital Karakorum

    A smart city called Monkh Khan for 500,000 people and an international airport will be built on the territory of Karakorum, the government reported.

    The Mongolian authorities will seize 189,000 hectares of land for special state use to build a new city on the site of the ancient capital of the Mongol Empire, Karakorum (Kharkhorin). The corresponding decree was published by the government of the country.

  • SG: IDA International to collaborate with Mongolia on eGovt projects

    The Government of Mongolia and Singapore strengthened their collaborative relationship on Tuesday with the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between IDA International and the Information, Communications Technology and Post Authority of the Government of Mongolia (ICTPA).

    The MOU defines the framework within which both organisations can explore opportunities to collaborate on Infocomm Technology (ICT) activities and projects related to eGovernment, said the IDA International in a statement on Tuesday.

  • Singapore, Mongolia to work on ICT projects

    Singapore and Mongolia have strengthened their relationship, with an agreement to work on Infocomm Technology (ICT) activities and projects to help transform Mongolia into a knowledge-based society.

    They'll collaborate in public service infocomm and eGovernment over the next three years.

    These include ICT projects, such as enterprise architecture, cloud computing and project management.
