Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia 2017

In Mongolia, Lorinet Foundation is focused on supporting communities in ‘ger’ districts of the capital city Ulaanbaatar, an informal urban residential settlement that lacks access to basic infrastructure and public services.

This two-part assessment study was commissioned by Lorinet Foundation and conducted by GerHub with a purpose of assessing the needs of the ger area communities.

Part 1 assessed the needs from the perspective of stakeholders and individuals who represented diverse backgrounds and types of organizations, including the barriers and limitations they face in developing and implementing community development projects.

Part 2 sought to identify needs from the perspective of the community members living in the ger districts, including specific structural and individual barriers as well as potential solutions proposed by the community members.
