| Contexte | Since 2011, the Government of Mongolia (GoM) placed an emphasis on decentralisation reform to achieve more equitable and inclusive development. These efforts toward empowering local governments to provide better public services and enhancing citizen participation for greater government accountability have yielded positive results, such as approval of a comprehensive policy on decentralization reform and supporting legislations; enabling citizen participation in local development through passing the Integrated Budget Law (2011); and increased consultations with citizens through introduction of the Public Hearing Law (2015) and General Administrative Law (2016). While broad consensus among key government stakeholders on the need for continued decentralisation and democratisation remains strong, functional allocation among different government levels are either unclear or overlapped, local authorities are not provided with adequate financial and administrative authority to fulfil assigned mandates; legal rights of citizens to participate in public affairs are not coherently codified and effectively enforced; citizens’ knowledge and attitudes about importance of civic engagement remain weak; improved delivery of services and infrastructure investments to residents of Ulaanbaatar (UB) which accommodates more than half of the country’s population remains a challenge for the MUB |
