“Socio-Economic Impact of Global Crises in Mongolia” Workshop

Background 

The United Nations Mongolia is implementing a UN Joint SDG Fund project entitled Rapid Analysis and Response to the Impact of Russia-Ukraine Conflict and the Covid-19 Pandemic on Mongolia’s Economy and Vulnerable Population. Under the leadership and coordination of the Resident Coordinator, the Participating United Nations Organizations (PUNOs) - FAO, UNDP, UNICEF and UNFPA - are analysing the extent of the socio-economic impact of global crises on vulnerable persons in terms of consumption and production, availability of food and nutrition, and security of the energy sector, including the prospects for low-carbon transition in energy.  

The existing data/analysis shows that the socio-economic impact of Russia-Ukraine crisis on Mongolia, which combined with COVID-19 pandemic reverberations may trigger deep economic, social, political, and environmental crises. The Government of Mongolia (GOM), United Nations Country Team (UNCT) Mongolia, development partners and IFIs have been closely monitoring the situation and analysing its implications for Mongolia. The analytical work carried out by the PUNOs of the project intends to complement government’s analysis by providing exhaustive information on households, businesses, and livelihoods of vulnerable population. The findings and recommendations are expected to feed into the policy and programme interventions by the GOM, UNCT, and development partners and support development of an integrated strategic response. 

Objectives of the workshop:  

1. Validate the analysis conducted by PUNOs under the project 

2. Get feedback and comments from stakeholders on analytical findings 

3. Initiate a dialogue on how these findings can feed into policy interventions by the Government and stakeholders 

Target participants: 

• United Nations Agencies and Development partners 

• Senior government representatives of policy developments and executive levels in Ministries 

• Civil society and academia
