3 \ ufl Hi W Hfj U / EXECUTVE OFFCE OF THE SECRETARY-GENERAL Translation from Mongolian Date: 25 September, 1999 Ulaanbaatar Excellency, As a follow-up to the previous letter dated January 7,1999,1 have the honor to draw once again Your Excellency's kind attention to the innovative project known as the "One World UN Conferences series" initiated by the Government of Mongolia and implemented in close cooperation with the organizations of the United Nations system represented in Ulaanbaatar as well as the non-governmental organizations. The project, consisting of six national conferences, emerged as a national response to the United Nations objective, so ably articulated by Your Excellency on numerous occasions, to promote and ensure an integrated and coordinated implementation and follow-up to major UN conferences and summits of 1990s. The series covered the conferences on children, human rights, population, social development, women, and the national summit, all held in At the closing summit we had the pleasure of welcoming the Under-Secretary-General Mr.Kensaku Hogen as Your Excellency's Personal Envoy. Young delegates aged 15-19, including those with disabilities and from lowincome families, from all over the country participated in these conferences. The main purpose of these conferences with the direct and active participation of the youth was to raise the awareness of the general public of the goals set and the commitments undertaken by governments, to promote dialogue with the decisionmakers on follow-ups and to encourage an active involvement of the youth, the civil society and the local governments in the implementation of the relevant national plans of action. Hundreds of interesting, thought-provoking and helpful ideas have been flagged and proposed during these conferences. These conference series resulted in the adoption of the national development strategy, aptly portrayed by the participants themselves as "turning from a mosquito into a busy bee", a strategy to be reflected in the national policy. As a result of these conferences, "One World Clubs" have been established in all 21 His Excellency Mr. Kofi Annan Secretary-General of the United Nations New York /

4 aimags (provinces) and the capital city of Ulaanbaatar with the aim of expanding further the project and closely monitoring the implementation of the plans of action at the local level. These "clubs" are a r eflect p^n ojfjncreased involvement of NGOs and especially the youth, who represent the vast majority of the population, in promotingjhe goals of the UN conferences and summits, whose creative energies are yet to be untapped and put to the use of the society. We believe that the initial aim of the project has been attained. Bearing in mind the inspiring results of the One World Conference series, it is my earnest belief that other members of the United Nations might find it interesting and even useful. They could benefit from replicating this project, with the appropriate adjustments, in their own countries. n this respect, my Government is prepared to cooperate with the United Nations in sharing our experience with others. Please accept, Excellency, the assurances of my highest consideration. Rinchinnyamyn AMARJARGAL Prime Minister of Mongolia

7 UNTED NATONS* MONGOLA

8 PREFACE n the 1990s the United Nations held a series of World Conferences to address urgent socio-economic problems faced by all member states. Collectively, these high profile meetings crafted a global consensus for a new development agenda for the 1990s and beyond. The entire international community united to achieve these shared values, strategies, and goals. Having actively participated in these important global conferences, the Government of Mongolia has taken follow up actions in collaboration with its development partners, including multilateral and bilateral donors, and international and national non-governmental organisations. This report, Mongolia's Follow-up to the UN Global Conferences, captures each conference's goals and assesses the progress of Mongolia's attempts to implement the policies articulated at each conference. Both policy and programme initiatives of the government, non-governmental organisations (NGOs), and the United Nations Organisations in Mongolia are highlighted in each chapter. By acknowledging diverse initiatives of the past and identifying gaps, this document hopes to stimulate further efforts to achieve the conferences' goals in Mongolia. The attached booklet introduces a set of integrated social indicators to capture key conferences' goals, national targets, and then gauges the status of their implementation in Mongolia. These integrated indicators were developed on the understanding that all conferences included multi-sectoral goals and that the indicators articulated at one conference are refined at subsequent conferences. This document covers the seven key global conferences most relevant to promoting sustainable development in Mongolia. Finally, we would like to thank the many individuals and institutions that have provided enormous inputs and support for the preparation of this document. Special thanks goes to the government counterparts, NGOs, UN Theme Groups, the One World Conferences Team, and the youth and children in Mongolia who have provided the beautiful pictures featured throughout this document.

11 THE CHLDREN'S SUMMT At the 1990 World Summit for Children, world leaders gathered in New York and promoted the well being of the world's children. On this occasion, the World Declaration and the Plan of Action on the Survival, Protection and Development of Children were jointly signed. The Declaration and the Plan of Action comprise seven major goals and 20 supporting goals related to child human development for the year These included targeted reductions in infant and maternal mortality, child malnutrition and illiteracy, as well as targeted increases in access to basic'services for health, family planning, education, water and sanitation. The goals established at the World Summit for Children generated a significant and sincere commitment for action from the participating countries. t also created new partnerships among governments, NGOs, donors, media, civil society, and international organisations for protecting children's rights. As a platform of the Summit's Plan of Action, the Convention on the Rights of the Child was adopted in 1989, which itself drew upon the 1959 Declaration on the Rights of the Child. Carrying the weight of international law, the Convention provided a framework for governments and agencies to develop policies benefiting children. The Convention became the world's most rapidly and widely ratified human rights instrument to improve child survival and development. MONGOLA'S FOLLOW-UP ACTON POLCY AND ACTON PLANS Mongolia participated in the World Summit for Children and translated relevant measures into its 1993 National Programme of Action for the Development of Children. The National Programme of Action of Mongolia, a set of planning guidelines, lays out sectoral programmes to achieve the goals set out in the Declaration and Plan of Action of the World Summit for Children. The National. Programme of Action established seven goals to be achieved by the year 2000: Reduction of mortality rate for infants and children under 5 years by one third of 1he 1990 level; Reduction of maternal mortality rate by 105 per 100,000; Reduction of severe and moderate malnutrition by half of the 1990 figure; mprovement of access to safe water and sanitary means to at least 85 %; Universal access to basic education; Reduction of adult illiteracy rate to 2 %; mproved protection of children in especially difficult circumstances. Since 1990, Mongolia has made enormous efforts in implementing the global agenda of the World Summit on Children. The Government of Mongolia, with

13 Health and Nutrition Achievement Future Challenges strong support from UNCEF, USAD and other international organisations, has successfully acted on behalf of its children. Benchmarks for follow-up have been established in the areas of health and nutrition, education, water supply and sanitation, childhood disability, and child and women's welfare. PROGRAMMES AND ACHEVEMENTS With support from international partner organisations, Mongolia has undertaken actions to eliminate the conditions that force children into vulnerable and unhealthy circumstances. The health and nutrition of both the female child and of pregnant women have received special attention. A programme to provide childcare services and maternity homes fias been established. Effective measures have been taken to reduce deficiencies in iron foliate, vitamins A and D, and iodine by distributing these nutrients in urban and rural areas. The National odine Deficiency Disorders Programme has been operating since 1995 and uses universal salt iodination as its principal intervention strategy. Established in 1992, the Nutrition Research Center promotes and monitors good nutrition practices throughout Mongolia. UNCEF supports social marketing campaigns to promote sound principles of parenting, healthy living, and awareness of the Convention on the Rights of the Child. For basic education needs, government and NGOs support early childhood education by'developing private sector kindergartens. Moreover, the government has approved the National Programmes of Action on Non-formal Education in To meet the goal of universal access to primary education (with special emphasis for girls and accelerated 1 literacy programmes for women), UNESCO supports projects to increase women's literacy in Gobi aimags. n addition, UNJCEF sponsors a non-formal education programme to prevent school dropouts in the country. The condition of Mongolia's children has significantly improved since the early 1990s, and some goals set for the year 2000 have been achieved. Particularly, the mortality rates for infants and for children under five have been reduced and access to information and services on reproductive health has been improved. Mongolia has also maintained a high level of immunisation coverage. However, economic and political instability limits Mongolia's ability to meet the goals set at the Children's Summit. Numbers of children in extreme difficult circumstances, especially among the urban street children, are increasing every year. Strenuous efforts to reduce the maternal mortality rate, severe and moderate malnutrition, and low birth weights are required. Universal access to safe drinking water remains unachieved. Although overall child death from acute respiratory infections has been reduced, the death rate among children under 5 has not been reduced as dramatically. The government continues efforts to eliminate factors affecting these indicators. lim

17 THE EARTH SUMMT f*x& f f\ --(, -H -<-t tjfvtv* ^^ U> The size and scope of the UN Conference on Environment and Development, also known as the Earth Summit, was unprecedented for a UN conference. Member states committed themselves to a new global partnership for sustainable development and environmental protection. The Summit's message reflected the complexity of the problems facing human beings: both poverty and excessive consumption by affluent populations causes environmental degradation in the world. Governments recognised that they must redirect their plans and policies to ensure that their economic decisions account for environmental impacts. The member states recognised need to create a plan for "sustainable development" that both supports development and prevents deterioration of the environment. The Summit also prepared a foundation for a global partnership between the developing and the industrialised countries, based on mutual needs and common interests to secure a healthy future for the planet. The relationship between economic development and environmental degradation first appeared on the international agenda at the 1972 Stockholm UN Conference on the Human Environment. After this Conference, member governments set up the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP), which continues to promote conservation.of the environment. However, since then little has been done to integrate environmental concerns into national economic planning and decision-making and the environment continued to deteriorate. Ozone depletion, global warming, water pollution and destruction of natural resources accelerated at an alarming rate. Twenty years after the first global environment conference, the UN encouraged member states to devise development strategies that would not destroy irreplaceable natural resources and pollute the planet. To this end, the Earth Summit produced five international agreements: Agenda 21 - a comprehensive plan for sustainable global development; The Rio Declaration on Environment and Development - a set of principles defining the rights and responsibilities of States; The Statement of Forest Principles - a set of principles guiding sustainable management of the world's forests; Convention on Biological Diversity - a set of principles ensuring protection, sustainable utilisation and fair shares of the benefits from biodiversity resources; Convention on Climate Change - a set of principles preventing and reducing factors causing global climate change.

19 1 Mongolian Action Programme Biodiversity Conservation MONGOLA'S FOLLOW-UP ACTON POLCY AND ACTON PLANS Future Challenges The Government of Mongolia has responded to both the Earth Summit and to the threats of continued environmental degradation in Mongolia with several reforms. Mongolia's response to the Global Agenda 21, the Mongolian Action Programme for the 21 st Century (MAP-21), offers a blueprint for sustainable economic, environmental and social development. MAP 21 has been developed and implemented in a decentralised and participatory manner at the local level with the Aimags (provincial) Action Programmes and by the Aimag Economic, Social and Environmental Committees. n addition to the MAP-21, the National Environmental Action Plan (1995), the Biodiversity Action Plan (1996) and the National Plan of Action to Combat Desertification (1996) demonstrate Mongolia's strong commitment to environmentally sustainable development. PROGRAMMES AND ACHEVEMENTS Many successful actions have already been taken to implement the goals set forth at the Earth Summit. The UN agencies, in coordination with other institutions, have used their comparative advantages to assist the Mongolian government to overcome continued environmental degradation. Supported by UNDP, the MAP-21 programme has introduced the important concept of interministerial and participatory policy development. The process has spurred the formation of a.business Council for Sustainable Development, which has important links to the Mongolian Chamber of Commerce, Small Business Association and Mongolian Consumer's Association. A number of workshops and training on environmental awareness have been conducted, and small projects on sustainable development have been implemented. n response to the Convention on Biological Diversity, several projects have been implemented in Mongolia with external support. With support from international NGOs and agencies, the government has set aside and begun to manage 11 percent of its total land as protected area to conserve theunique biodiversity of the country. The Mongolia Biodiversity Project, funded by UNDP Mongolia and the Global Environmental Facility, is also a major initiative of the government to implement the Biodiversity Action Plan of Mongolia. The project supports policy development as well as community-based initiatives for biodiversity and conservation at the local level. The project also-supports government efforts to establish the Environment Trust Fund that will secure both optimum co-ordination among donors and maximum resource mobilisation from other donors. Mongolia has developed policy documents and strategies to promote environmentally sustainable development, but challenges remain to implement these policies and strategies. mplementation requires diverse efforts, including the following actions: ncrease financial support from donor countries and international organisations to implement strategies; Develop and strengthen institutional mechanisms and provide for full public and NGO participation for implementation; Adopt an environmental accounting system to integrate environmental impacts into economic development strategies.

23 r i i i i i i i i i i i i i i THE HUMAN RGHT; COflfFEfiEJ The World Conference on Human Rights was a milestone for the United Nations system for reviewing the status and progress made in the area of human rights. During the Conference, representatives from 171 nations adopted the Vienna Declaration and Programme of Action. The Declaration and the Programme of Action outline a common plan for implementing human rights and highlight the crucial links between development, democracy and the promotion of human rights. Preparations for the Conference revealed the complexity of human rights issues within the international community..however, the Vienna Declaration signalled that the participants had achieved a wide-ranging consensus about human rights. The Vienna Declaration provides the international community with a framework for planning, dialogue and co-operation: a holistic approach to promote human rights that involves international, national and local actors. The United Nations has been addressing human rights issues by creating a comprehensive body of human rights legislation. Starting with the unprecedented 1948 Universal Declaration of Human Rights, the United Nations formally articulated that human rights are inherent in our nature and without them we cannot live fully as human beings. These rights and fundamental freedoms allow us to develop and enjoy our intelligence, our talents, our conscience, our spirituality, and other needs as individuals and members of society. The UN High Commissioner for Human Rights was established as the main human rights organ of the United Nations. t is the intergovernmental body and human rights organisation where member states voice concerns on human rights issues. n 1989, the General Assembly called a world meeting to review progress made in the field of human rights since the adoption of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, and to identify obstacles to extending human rights and the ways that these obstacles might be overcome. The first global meeting on human rights occurred in Tehran in The call for a second world conference reflected the international community's overwhelming desire to integrate human rights into policies and programmes promoting economic and social development, democratic structures and peacekeeping and peacemaking efforts. n this regard, the Vienna Conference-and its follow-up- reflects a consensus reached by the international community on human rights issues.

25 r i i i i i i i MONGOLA'S FOLLOW-UP ACTON POLCY AND ACTON PLANS The Government of Mongolia made considerable effort to protect and promote the human rights of its citizens. n 1992, the Mongolian Parliament demonstrated its commitment by writing international human rights standards into Mongolia's new constitution. Since then, both Parliament and the executive branch of Mongolia's government have ratified 29 international treaties on human rights. The government's commitment to human rights is further embodied in action plans adopted to follow-up recent global conferences: the Action Plan for Children, Advancement of Women, and the Mongolian Action Plan for the 21 st Century among others. n the absence of a formal human rights institution, the Parliamentary Sub-committee for Human Rights directs Mongolia's response to issues related to human rights. A draft law for the establishment of a National Commission for Human Rights is currently under review to further promote and protect human rights in Mongolia. i i i i i i i Government's Efforts to Achieve Human Rights PROGRAMMES AND ACHEVEMENTS n March 1997, a multi-sectoral programme was adopted by the National Coordinating Committee on the Commemoration of the 50" 1 anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights as a national contribution to ttie world-wide celebration of the jubilee. Under the lead of the Ministry of Justice, the Cabinet set up the Committee. The Committee's programme includes a range of activities: 1) preparation, publication, and dissemination of a nation-wide series of lectures on human rights; 2) development of human rights curricula for tertiary and secondary educational institutions; 3) training of trainers on human rights; and 4) contests and awareness-raising programmes on radio and TV. Under the National Plan of Action on Children, Women, Disabled and others, the Government of Mongolia, in cooperation with external agencies, has undertaken to protect and promote human rights in Mongolia. A comprehensive programme of technical assistance was initiated, with support from the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights (UNHCHR), to implement policies in the field of human rights, including the establishment of a national institution, revision of prison and criminal justice legislation, and development of a code of ethics for the judiciary and a strengthening of their independence. ii V

27 T UN support to Human Rights Signed in 1998 between the Mongolian government and the UN system, the Memorandum of Understanding on Human Rights lists specific activities supported by UN agencies in relation to human rights in Mongolia. The UNHCHR plays a key role in supporting the government's democratisation efforts. Following their individual mandates, other UN agencies have been collectively supporting the government on human rights with particular focus on poverty, basic social services gender street children, and HV/ADS. A/ 'n addition, several NGOs, including Amnesty nternational and the Mongolian N(jO Support to Foundation for Open Society (Soros), have been established in Mongolia and are advisin 9 Mongolia in the areas of human rights, fundamental freedoms and democratisation. Achievements and Future Challenges These activities pertain to Mongolia's efforts to link the full range of human rights to sustainable human development and the consolidation of democracy. Mongolia's achievement in promoting and protecting human rights can be consolidated in a number of areas, particularly in promoting a democratic society. However, further efforts are required to overcome the adverse socio-economic conditions affecting the basic human rights of vulnerable groups, particularly poor, women, and children SW^'^Hr;

31 THE POPULATON CONFERENCE The 1994 nternational Conference on Population and Development was a defining moment in the history of international cooperation. Recognising the impact of global population growth on development and the environment, the Conference participants seized the opportunity to adopt suitable policies and programmes on population. The Conference followed and built upon two earlier population conferences held in Bucharest (1974) and Mexico (1984), as well as upon other past international and national initiatives on population issues. The highlight of the Conference was. the adoption of the Programme of Action that guides national and international programmes on population and development for the next 20 years. Member states recognised that challenges associated to population patterns had to account for broad social problems, including gender inequality, poverty, economic progress, and environmental protection. The resulting Programme of Action sanctioned a comprehensive and cross-sectoral approach to tackle issues related to population growth. The three pillars of the Programme of Action are: Universal access to family planning by year 2015; ntegration of population concerns in all policies and programmes related to sustainable development; Empowerment of women and girls through expanded access to education, health ser vices, and employment. MONGOLA'S FOLLOW-UP ACTON POLCY AND ACTON PLANS As a prelude to the Conference, the Government of Mongolia developed a comprehensive Country Report on Population and Development that reaffirms its commitment to maternal health, family planning, and natural population growth (minimum 1.8 percent per annum). However, Mongolia tackles the problem of growth differently than other nations. Considering the small size of Mongolia's population, the vastness of its territory, and the potential for development, the government has promoted a population growth policy. Traditionally the government has encouraged population growth by providing the Glory Award for Mothers for women with a large number of offspring. i National Population Action Plan The Country Report also included a National Population Action Plan for the future that seeks to balance population and socio-economic development in Mongolia. t was based on the understanding that economic growth and expansion of social services lagged behind population growth. Within the framework of the Action Plan, the government committed itself to implement several sub-programmes to improve public health and education, to support youth, to increase employment opportunities, to ensure food security and housing and to enhance population distribution and migration. vtet&i

33 1 National Population Policy n 1996, with active support from the Parliament, Mongolia reconciled the National Population Action Plan to the National Population Policy. The Population Policy aims to balance slow population growth to economic development and social services. The policy also pays particular attention to the vulnerable groups, including youth, elderly, disabled persons, the poor and those with HV/ADS. To strengthen and coordinate the programmes related to reproductive health, the government has also adopted the Reproductive Health Strategy. PROGRAMMES AND ACHEVEMENTS Government Programmes on Population The government has promptly funded and implemented activities based on the Population Policy. Between 1993 and 1997, about 10 percent of the total government budget has been annually allocated to health programmes. Based on the Population Policy, the government has developed the National Reproductive Health Programme (1997) and the National Programme on Adolescent Health (1998). Under the United Nations system, the UNFPA country office in Mongolia is tne main funding agency supporting government efforts to implement Population Conference recommendations. UNCEF, WHO, and UNDP have also been actively engaged in reproductive health, including HV/ADS issues. The World Bank, Asian Development Bank, JCA, and the GTZ are other key donors in the health and population area. The recently signed Memoranda of Understanding on both HV/ADS and Youth ssues between the Government of Mongolia and the UN agencies are milestones of UN agencies' assistance on youth health, HV/ADS and reproductive health in Mongolia UNFPA Support to the Government The goals and objectives set forth in the UNFPA country programme of for Mongolia are based on the Programme of Action of the Population Conference and on the national priorities in the area of population. The UNFPA office funds and supports the Government of Mongolia, NGOs, and others to implement development strategies related to population, reproductive health, advocacy and education. For example, the UNFPA-supported Adolescent and Reproductive Health project focuses on reproductive health and sexuality education for youth, the very ones who will determine Mongolia's future population and development patterns. 4

35 NGOSupport Monitoring Conference Goals Achievements and Future Challenges Several NGOs are tackling population and reproductive health issues by increasing citizens' knowledge on reproductive health and gender issues, particularly among rural women and youth. At the Mongolian National University, the Population Training and Research Centre is a focal point for training, research, and analysis of population-related issues in Mongolia The government agency responsible for following up and monitoring the goals set forth at the Population Conference is the Ministry of Health and Social Welfare, in coordination with UNFPA. n 1998, UNFPA surveyed government agencies and NGOs to identify the progress and the status of initiatives taken after the Conference. n 1999, the One World Conference on Population and Development was successfully organised by UNFPA and other agencies to review the responses of Mongolia's youth to the Cairo Population Conference. Mongolia's sincere and serious efforts to create a functioning multi-sectoral approach on population and development issues have yielded mixed results. For example, the infant mortality rate has gone down from 63 to 40 per 1000 live births between 1990 and However, other data shows that maternal mortality rates and women's status particularly rural women have deteriorated in Mongolia during the economic transition. Adoption of a comprehensive population-policy has set Mongolia on the right path, but further efforts are required to deliver quality population and health services to Mongolia's rural and urban citizens. To this end, further efforts are required to: Develop the capacity of government officials and policy makers to work together to create and deliver sound policy and programmes; Strengthen advocacy activities on issues related to population; ncrease awareness among the citizens about the relationship between population and development; ntegrate population factors into development planning and decision making; ncrease resource allocation to the population and health of the rural sector. tr, 1 t >J \ -<,

39 THE SOCAL SUMMT The 1995 World Summit on Social Development is considered as a centrepiece among many UN Conferences that promoted integrated and multi-sectoral approaches to social development. The Summit participants focused on three key social problems: how to eradicate poverty, how to expand productive employment and reduce unemployment and how to promote social integration. Conference attendees recognised that national development programmes of recent decades had given priority to economic growth without considering the real and sometimes dire social impacts of economic development. The Summit intended to remedy this bias by advising that national development to strike a balance between economic and social development. At the conclusion of the Summit, the 186 member states of the UN endorsed the Copenhagen Declaration and Programme of Action, reflecting their commitment for people-centred development. The Declaration offered 10 commitments: Eradicate absolute poverty; Support full employment; Promote social integration based on the enhancement and protection of all human rights, Achieve equality and equity between women and men; Accelerate the development of Africa and the least developed countries; Ensure that structural adjustment programmes include social development goals; ncrease resources allocated for social development; Create an economic, political, social, cultural and legal environment that will enable people to achieve social development; Attain universal and equitable access to education and primary health care; Strengthen co-operation for social development through the UN system. MONGOLA'S FOLLOW-UP ACTON POLCY AND ACTON PLANS Mongolia's rapid transition to a market economy has been coupled with social degradation coming from increased poverty and unemployment. n 1994, a government survey found 26 percent of the population living below minimum standards; and thai the official unemployment rate had grown to 8.3 percent of the economically active population. Under the transition economy, significant economic stabilisation had been achieved by adopting a comprehensive macro-economic policy. However, neither equity concerns nor social development goals were adequately addressed by these economic policies. "",-, i <i»:; <> *' or r >~r ^ ' -

41 nstitutional Arrangement A National Committee for Social Development was proposed after the Social Summit, but no official follow-up mechanism was developed in Mongolia. Currently proposed is an umbrella organisation under the Prime Minister's Office to coordinate and monitor multi-sectoral initiatives on social development and to follow up on the commitments made at various international conferences, including the Social Summit. The Ministry of Health and Social Welfare has been the agency responsible for issues related to the Social Summit. Since early 1990s, the Ministry has developed several social policy packages, with particular focus on youth, women and other vulnerable groups. The population policy, social insurance policy, social assistance law, labour policy, and sports and physical policy have been adopted. Currently, several ministries are jointly preparing for a national act on employment promotion. These policies commit the government to develop a social safety net and to promote social integration. PROGRAMMES AND ACHEVEMENTS Poverty Employment & Social ntegration UN Support for Social Development Even before the 1994 Summit, the Mongolian government recognised that the social erosion of the early 1990s required new programmes for social and economic development. Consequently, the government created the National Poverty Alleviation Programme to address the social dimensions of the economic transition. This programme aims to bring the poverty rate down to less than 10 percent by the year The programme addresses poverty from a human-development perspective, by focusing on employment, health, education and women. The programme has successfully mobilised resources from various donors and implemented comprehensive projects in a decentralised and participatory manner. To address the Summit's employment and social integration goals, the National Unemployment Reduction Programme and other national programmes to aid women, children and the disabled have been developed. However, good strategies and concepts require resources, and too many of these programmes were developed without budgets. Lacking adequate financial support, most of these programmes are implemented on a limited scale. The UN agencies have been working on social development in Mongolia for the past 20 years. n cooperation with the government, the followup actions to the Social Summit have been implemented by different UN agencies collectively and individually. UNDP concentrated its assistance in the area of human development and poverty alleviation; UNFPA in population, reproductive health, and gender programmes; UNCEF in child health and development; FAO in food security and control; UNESCO in education and gender; and WHO in health improvement. n partnership with the Mongolian government, the World Bank and UNDP Mongolia have helped to develop the National Poverty Alleviation Programme. Joint efforts and discussions continue among UN agencies and NGOs to support the development of a comprehensive socio-economic policy for Mongolia.

43 ^ An increasing number of NGOs are established in Mongolia to support social devel- NGO SUPPOrt P merlt - NGOs concerned with gender and women's issues are most actively "" promoting social development in the country. Many are engaged in poverty alleviation, income generation and health advocacy. They also promote small-scale projects in Mongolia's remote rural areas. Monitoring Social Development 20/20 nitiative For effective policy development and monitoring issues related to social development, the Ministry of Health and Social Welfare and the National Statistical Office are strengthening social statistics. UN agencies in Mongolia have also begun to develop integrated social indicators relevant to Mongolia. n terms of poverty monitoring, the government, with support from the World Bank, has developed definitions and methods for assessing poverty in Mongolia. The Summit participants also endorsed the "20/20 nitiative". This formula was developed to ensure that 20 percent of overall development aid and 20 percent of national expenditures of the developing countries are earmarked for basic social needs. n Mongolia, it is estimated that 21.2 percent of the total government expenditures and 29 percent of the total international aid budget were allocated to the social sector in Mongolia has allocated many resources and made intense efforts to improve social development, but many indicators show continuous social deterioration. These declines have led some to question if the social budget is being allocated efficiently and effectively. Among others, future actions are required to: Strengthen multi-sectoral institutional structures and capacities for social development; ntegrate social development goals into economic policies; ncrease national ownership and resources to enhance Mongolia's social development.

47 National Programme of Action for Women THE BEJNG WOMEN'S CONFERENCE Held in Beijing in 1996, the Fourth World Conference on Women represented a new movement for ensuring equality, development and peace for all women in the world. At the Conference, representatives from 189 countries adopted the Beijing Declaration and Platform for Action. This Platform offered a comprehensive plan of ac 1 - tion to enhance social, economical and political empowerment of women. The Conference was based on the understanding that advancement of women and the achievement of equality between men and women are a matter of human rights and a condition of human justice, and not to be seen as isolated women's issues. The Platform of Action reaffirms the principles set forth at the three earlier women's conferences and through the United Nations Decade for Women ( ), which stimulated the global women's movement. These events led to the incorporation and emphasis of gender, women, and girls' issues in national policies and at all subsequent world conferences: the Children's Summit, Earth Summit, Human Rights Summit among others., Recognising that deeply entrenched attitudes and practices lead to inequality and discrimination against women, the Platform of Action set an agenda to empower women around the globe. t aims to remove all barriers to women's active participation in all aspects of public and private life by promoting women's right to a full and equal share in economic, social, cultural and political decision-making. With the Beijing Declaration and the Platform of Action, UN members articulated a set of international norms and standards of equality between men and women. Empowerment of women was taken as the prerequisite for a sustainable, just and developed society. MONGOLA'S FOLLOW-UP ACTON POLCY AND ACTON PLANS Under the transition economy, the deteriorating status of women and girls was recognised as being caused by increased poverty and poor access to health and social services. t was imperative and timely for the government to assess the status of women, define policies and strategies for action on the basis of national consensus, and fully implement these policies. Using the Beijing Platform of Action as a guide, the Mongolian government endorsed the National Programme of Action for the Advancement of Women in n 1997, the government and UNDP Mongolia organised a high-level workshop to introduce the concept of gender and mainstream gender concerns into government policies. The National Programme of Action for the Advancement of Women outlines the government's strategies and programmes on women during the period of , with 12 clear indicators and targets. Based on the constitution that states that men and women enjoy equal rights, the National Programme aims to mobilise social resources to create equal opportunities for women to live in peace, to protect their health, to gain education and to participate fully in the political, economic and social spheres. n conformity with the Beijing Platform of Action, the National Programme identified ten critical areas of concern to the women of Mongolia: economic development, poverty, status of rural women, education, reproductive health, family, power and decision making, violence against women and human rights, national machinery for the advancement of women and the mass media.

49 nstitutional Arrangement A National Council for Women was also established in 1996 to follow up on the Beijing Conference and to monitor implementation of the National Programme of Action. However, the Council has met only once and has been prevented from operating by institutional constraints. The Department of Women, Family, and Youth Affairs was established under the Ministry of Health and Social Welfare to coordinate implementation of the National Programme of Action. The government has also appointed a Women and Youth Coodinator in every aimag and soum to implement women-related programmes in a decentralised manner. PROGRAMMES AND ACHEVEMENTS Government Effort UN Support to Women NGO Support to Women Monitoring Conference Goals n 1997, the government committed Tg 30 million to implement the National Programme of Action for the Advancement of Women, but budget shortfalls have limited disbursement of this money. n addition, the Women and Development Fund was established under the National Poverty Alleviation Programme to support poor women. The fund, some Tg 690,000 by 1998, has been effectively used by national NGOs to implement activities related to income generation and reproductive health to improve status of poor women. The UN agencies, UNDP, UNCEF. UNFPA, WHO and UNESCO, advocate and support the government and civil society to enhance women and gender program-mes in Mongolia. UNCEF, UNFPA, and WHO focus on improved maternal and child health issues, and UNESCO concentrates on improving the education system through a non-formal distance education project. UNDP Mongolia is making efforts to mainstream gender concerns into all UNDP-funded programmes and projects by conducting gender auditing and developing gender- mainstreaming strategies. With about 35 women-related national NGOs, the civil society in Mongolia is particularly active in addressing women and gender concerns'. A network of women NGOs has also been established to ensure that Parjiament considers gender-in all actions and policies. By having branches in every aimag and soum, some of the NGOs are effectively reaching poor rural women. n partnership with the government and donors, these NGOs are developing their capacities by implementing such small-scale projects as women leadership training, income generation and reproductive health. n March 1998, a National Beijing Follow-up Report was prepared by the government for the UNDP-funded workshop to review the goals and implementation status of the National Programme of Action for the Advancement of Women. The report cited problems that slow progress, which included the followings: H Need to remove financial and institutional impediments; B Need for capacity development of government officers; Need to strengthen monitoring and evaluation mechanisms with the development of sex disaggrigated data and statistics. * Achievement and Future Challenges Since the Beijing Summit, Mongolia has developed strong policies, action plans, and programmes to improve status of women. Challenges remain to actually implement these policies with budgetary and institutional support. Moreover, most of the policies and programmes in Mongolia have been focused only on the issues of women. This concentration fails to account for issues relating to men, and perhaps gives men no stake in supporting women's empowerment. We can address the dual equity concerns of both men and women, by shifting approaches from a WD (women in development) to a GAD (gender and development).

53 THE FOOD SUMMT At the Food Summit in Rome, heads of state and government gathered to address the problems of hunger and malnutrition, which slow growth in food production and population expansion have exacerbated. The Summit reaffirmed a commitment for food security that ensures "all people, at all times, have physical and economic access to sufficient, safe, and nutritious food to meet their dietary needs and food preferences for an active and healthy life." The Summit agreed on a goal to reduce the number of undernourished people in the developing countries by half by the year i Ensure conditions for economic and social progress conducive to food security; Eradicate poverty to im prove access to adequate food; Pursue sustainable in creases in food production Enhance world trade sys temfor food security Prepare, prevent, and respond to food emergencies Promote optimal invest ment in human resources, sustainable production capacity, and rural development; mplement and monitor the Plan of Action. MONGOLA'S FOLLOW-UP ACTON POLCES AND ACTON PLAN The Government of Mongolia made a clear commitment to the objectives of the World Food Summit Plan of Action and to the principles of the Rome Declaration through their Country Report to the World Food Summit. n its report, the Government of Mongolia accepts that the transition to a market economy was coupled with social degradation, particularly increased poverty and malnutrition. Although the constitution declares the citizen's right to qualitative, secure and clean food, Mongolia became a food-deficit country in the early 1990s. A recent study by the World Bank (1996) shows that about six percent of the population lives in extreme poverty, consuming only 50 percent of required nutriants. During the economic transition, Mongolia experienced dramatic decreases in food production and accessibility. For example, data provided by the National Statistical Office suggests that wheat production and vegetable consumption have declined about 70 percent and 50 percent in 1997, respectively, compared to 1990 figures. The decline led Mongolians to further concentrate their diet on meat and milk products, while reducing consumption of flour and vegetables. Consequently, the incidence of malnutrition, anaemia, goitre (iodine deficiency), and rickets is rising in Mongolia. Because of these deteriorating conditions, the government has given more attention to improving food security and nutrition. The Food Law was enacted in 1995 and"food security and nutrition issues were integrated into important policies on population, advancement of women, and improvement of livestock and agricultural production. Directly responding to the World Food Summit, the government drafted the National Plan of Action on Food and Nutrition that is currently under review by the ministries n terms of institutional arrangements on policy and programmes related to food security and nutrition, the Ministry of Agriculture and the Ministry of Health and Social Welfare are respon- The Rome Declaration on World Food Security and the World Food Summit Plan of Action were adopted as commitments for realising the goals and actions set forth at the Food Summit. The Declaration and the Plan of Action calls for effective policy and strategy development to eliminate hunger and malnutrition; and they gave governments the prime responsibility to fight for food security. The Plan of Action articulated seven commitments to achieve food security, with particular emphasis on the linkage between poverty eradication and food security:

55 National Programmes UN Support to Food and Nutrition "" ""? NGO Support *Q pood and Conference Goals Achievement andfuture Challenges sible for these issues, but lack of co-ordination and co-operation between the two ministries has hindered effective and efficient action. PROGRAMMES AND ACHEVEMENTS The government has responded to the need for improved food security and nutrition by establishing several national programmes. Severe shortages of food in the early 1990s spurred the first major initiative on food security. n 1993, the government developed the National Programme for the mprovement of Food Supply for the Population. However; because of changes in government, the programme was implemented only on a limited scale. n 1997, government endorsed the National Programme on the Green Revolution to increase vegetable production in the country. Consequently, total vegetable farm area increased by more than 35 percent in The success of the programme demonstrates that Mongolia's citizens are increasing interest on food security and nutrition issues. UN agencies, including FAO, FAD, UNCEF, UNFPA, UNDP, the World Bank, and WHO have been providing technical and financial assistance to the government and NGOs in Mongolia. The Asian Development Bank and the Government of Germany are also major donors to the agriculture sector. The FAO has a mandate to implement and monitor the commitments made at the World Food Summit, and has initiated several projects to increase productivity and food production in Mongolia. For example, the FAO launched the Special Programme on Food Security for the low-income food deficit countries. Responding to the need for a holistic approach to the complex issues of food security and nutrition, the Government of Mongolia and the UN agencies signed the Memorandum of Understanding on Food Security and Nutrition in November n the Memorandum, the government and UN agencies pledged to continue to build upon international and national commitments, policies and programmes to improve food security and nutrition in Mongolia. Only a few national NGOs are active in food security and agricultural issues in Mongolia. Nonetheless, these NGOs have the capacity and vision to address their concerns. For exam P' e ' ' ne Society for Horticulture became a driving force in advocating and adopting the Green Revolution Programme in Mongolia by identifying linkages between food security and poverty alleviation. To assess the follow up to the World Food Summit, the Ministry of Agriculture prepared a brief status report in A monitoring and evaluation mechanism at the national level needs to be further devefoped and strengthened to follow up on the goals set forth at the Food Summit. Based on the recently signed Memorandum of Understanding on Food Security and Nutrition, five working groups made up of government and UN staff have been established to track issues related to the Food Summit. These efforts have helped to restore consumption of food products per capita to their 1989 levels. However, the amount of food produced in Mongolia has remained constant or has decreased for most'of the essential food products, excluding meat and dairy products. Challenges remain to assure food security and balanced nutrition in Mongolia. Close co-operation among government, NGOs, and international agencies is required to develop strong policy and action plans and strengthen human capacity of the agriculture sector in Mongolia.
