To promote the “Eco-friendly Town Development Project in Mongolia”, KDS team visited Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia from June 12 to 17, 2019. The team which was composed of the Executive Director, Hongmin Chun, Team Manager of Sustainable Development Team, Ya Ya Kim, and Program Officer Hannah Park, reported the current status of performance management and discussed future plan with local stakeholders. In particular, providing eco-friendly education program on the use of renewable energy and mitigation of climate change which will be delivered for residents of 7 khoroos in Nalaikh and including awareness improvement as additional performance objective have been laid on the table. The team requested cooperation with relevant organizations on implementing the program.

It then met with the chief of governor’s office in Nalaikh district and the Urban planning director at the Nalaikh to consent to working for workshop in collaboration with NREC and KDS. As a result of the meeting, the workshop will deal with soil pollution, air pollution, and waste management issues that Nalaikh is currently facing with.
