An Accelerator for Localization of SDGs in the Darkhan-Uul Province
Background
The Government of Mongolia has presented its Voluntary National Review
(VNR) Report in 2019, the report presented a snapsho t of progress on the
Sustainable Development Goals in the country. Globally, the VNR adopted as
a main national tool to assess progress towards the SDGs. Since 2016, UN
member states have presented national reviews on SDG progress at the
United Nations High-Level Political Forum on Sustainable Development
(HLPF) organized annually by the Economic and Social Council. In 2019,
Mongolia was one of those countries among 47, submitted its VNR. the 17
sustainable development goals and 169 targets represent aspirations to end
poverty and hunger, protect the planet, promote justice, eliminate disparities
and inequalities, and bring prosperity by 2030. In line with these global goals,
the Parliament of Mongolia adopted its Sustainable Development
Vision-2030 (MSDV-2030) in 2016, a strategic policy document on the
country’s development priorities for the next 15 years. This makes Mongolia
one of the early adopters of the SDGs.
The Government of Mongolia is continually making efforts in mainstreaming
the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) into its development plans
through the Sustainable Development Vision (SDV) 2030, approved in
February 2016.
The SDV 2030 sets out SD objectives under economic development, social
development, environmental sustainability, and governance. The SDV 2030
Darkhan City Forum (DCF):

however, Mongolia being a landlocked country, SDG 14 was excluded from
the SDV 2030. The National Development Agency in Mongolia, a supervisory
body for overseeing and reporting on the SDV 2030 to the Prime Minister and
the Parliament, is prioritizing the goal to link existing policies to the SDV 2030
and establish baselines and set targets for its delivery. SDV 2030 is carried
further in a new long-term development policy document, Mongolia’s
Vision–2050 approved by Parliament in 2020. Vision– 2050 is due for review
every 5 years.
It is understood and realized that compiling indicators and providing guidance
to lines ministries through National Statistics Office provides limited opportuni-
ty for cities and local authorities to have
The National Statistics Office of Mongolia (NSO) is the agency responsible
for compiling indicators and providing guidance on methodologies to line
ministries, which are responsible for gathering the data required to compile
indicators and the executing agency (EA) of the project. Mongolia has faced
serious challenges in the SDG indicator availability in Mongolia had significant
gaps, number of technical agencies are cooperating and supporting National
Government in setting up the technical assistance (TA) preparation., they
informed 126 indicators were unavailable out of 233 indicators applicable to
Mongolia.

3. It was concluded that, there has been basket of capacity gaps, which prevent-
ed Mongolia from SDG indicators reporting at National Level:
Steps and approach to decide the methodology and identify the
best data collection vehicle;
Lack of collection, governance, and reporting framework
implementing tools and methodology to apply non-traditional data
collection methods.
The capacity gaps between the National and Sub-National Governments in
SDG planning, integration, implementation, and reporting will need to eliminate
for the acceleration of SDG progress in Mongolia. Local authorities’ (LAs) role
in the implementation of the global agenda 2030 is indisputable. As stated,
that, in order to achieve 17 goals and 169 targets will have involvement of local
authorities will be imminent. More than 60% of the targets relate to responsibili-
ties given to local governments and local authorities. Therefore, the leadership
and participation of local governments in SDGs is a must.
The Darkhan City Forum, under the auspice of the FRIENDSHIP Project, will
be a core Non-Partisan, Open Government Partnership with Innovative
Governance principles that will be working towards more responsible,
accountable, accessible, responsive, transparent, and fair cooperation
between government and citizens.
