What impact has EGP had in Mongolia during the second phase of the programme 2020-2023? The answer to this question is found in a new report available both in Mongolian and English.
The EGP activities in Mongolia have had a strong emphasis on collaboration with vital partners such as Mongolian ministries, government agencies, local governors’ offices, professional associations, enterprises, and non-governmental organizations.
The impact review of the second phase of EGP in Mongolia shows significant achievements and impacts through a combination of quantitative and qualitative measures. Numerous legislative changes were proposed, discussed, and supported by local citizens. Additionally, extensive capacity-building activities and training seminars were organized, engaging a substantial number of individuals. Seven major studies and assessments were conducted, resulting in the development of manuals, guidelines, and instructions.
The four main conclusions from the review are:
- EGP has played a crucial role in guiding companies toward sustainable operations by promoting adherence to responsible mining standards, participatory environmental monitoring (PEM), rehabilitation norms, and human rights considerations, among other key aspects.
- The Programme promoted a harmonious collaboration among state organizations, civil society organizations, and private entities, thereby cultivating improvements in legal and regulatory frameworks.
- EGP engaged in piloting initiatives in practical field settings to implement and fine-tune the new standards and rules for PEM, Human Rights Due Diligence and Responsible Mining.
- EGP demonstrates that local community members, especially women, can play a major role in improving environmental and human rights protection in mining operations.
The report also includes lessons learned and concrete recommendations for future projects. In addition, there are five case studies giving a closer insight to the work that has been carried out, and the effects it had.
