This baseline study was conducted as part of Lorinet Foundation funded and The Asia Foundation implemented ‘Let’s Read Mongolia’ programme aimed at promoting reading as a critical tool for early childhood education.

The Asia Foundation worked with Independent Research Institute of Mongolia (IRIM) to collect data on the reading habits of parents with children aged 0-5, the accessibility and availability of books for children at home and kindergarten, and perceptions of the importance of reading books for the development of children.

Data gathered will provide important insights for further delivery of the ‘Let’s Read Mongolia’ programme, including design and planning, stakeholder engagement, and most importantly tracking the outcomes and impact of the project in the coming years.
