Scaling up Support to Local Service Delivery for the MDGs

Context

Implementation & Financing

Project objective:

The target 16 under the MDG 7 to “ensure

environmental sustainability”, calls to “halve the

proportion of people without sustainable access to safe

drinking water and adequate sanitation” with targets to

increase the coverage of safe water sources to 60%, and

adequate sanitation services to 40% of the population by

2015, against the 1990 baseline data.

The latest UNDP supported study show when few

big cities are excluded, provincial average access to safe

water is approximately 58% and to adequate sanitation

approximately 22%. These figures are expected to be even

lower, when Aimag centers are excluded.

Until recently, there was no ministry, department

or agency at the central level that has been specifically

assigned the task of planning and making provision for

rural drinking water supply and sanitation. With the newly

elected Government, the MCUD is mandated with water

and sanitation services in rural settlements, including

soum centers.

UNDP is in a good position to provide technical assistance

in this area and promote pro-poor investments including

the small-scale infrastructure for the provision of water

and sanitation services in rural settlements as well as

integrating the capacity development support to local

governments that is needed for sustaining the result of

the investments.

Within the MDGs Acceleration Framework, the

Project aims to foster capacity development by enabling

local governments to fully undertake their assigned

functions in the rural water and sanitation, enhance local

resources mobilization, improve the quality and access of

service delivery, thus contribute to the achievement of the

national MDG 7 target by 2015.

Within this objective, the project will deliver the

following outputs:

Output Improved oversight, monitoring, policy

coordination and service delivery arrangements for rural

water and sanitation;

Output 2: Capacity of local institutions strengthened for

improved service delivery;

Output 3: Water and sanitation services expanded in the

selected areas;

The project responds to the urgent need to accelerate

Mongolia’s off-track target of the MDG 7 “to halve the

proportion of people without sustainable access to safe

drinking water and basic sanitation” and increase funding

for public investments.
