Overview

Mongolia’s Voluntary National Review (VNR) 2023 presents the country’s progress, challenges, and policy responses towards achieving the United Nations (UN) Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) under the framework of Vision 2050 and the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. The review highlights Mongolia’s commitment to integrating the SDGs into national development planning, strengthening monitoring systems, and promoting multi-stakeholder participation despite the impacts of economic instability, climate change, regional inequality, and the COVID-19 pandemic. Mongolia increased the number of nationally calculated SDG indicators from 138 to 156 by February 2023 to improve monitoring and accountability, while SDG Open Day initiatives involved more than 120 organisations and nearly 200 individuals to strengthen stakeholder engagement. The VNR also reported that the national poverty rate declined from 29.6% in 2016 to 27.8% in 2020, although child poverty among those aged 0–18 remained high at 35.7%, reflecting the continuing socio-economic challenges facing the country.

Recommendations

  1. Strengthen regional development policies to reduce inequalities between Ulaanbaatar and rural provinces.
  2. Improve climate adaptation and environmental protection measures to address desertification, biodiversity loss, and climate-related disasters such as zud.
  3. Enhance food security and sustainable agriculture policies through stronger livestock resilience and rural development support.
  4. Increase investment in healthcare, education, digital infrastructure, and sustainable urban planning.
  5. Strengthen governance effectiveness, institutional coordination, and transparency for improved SDG implementation and monitoring.
  6. Expand public awareness campaigns and community participation to improve national understanding of the SDGs.
  7. Promote economic diversification, green financing, and sustainable industrial development to reduce unemployment and economic vulnerability.
  8. Continue expanding SDG monitoring systems and data-driven policymaking to support evidence-based sustainable development planning.

Conclusion

Mongolia has demonstrated continued commitment towards sustainable development through policy reforms, improved SDG monitoring, sustainable financing initiatives, and strengthened partnerships among government, private sector, and civil society stakeholders. The country strengthened SDG implementation by aligning Vision 2050 with the 2030 Agenda, introducing the New Recovery Policy in 2021, and increasing the number of nationally calculated SDG indicators from 138 to 156 by February 2023. Multi-stakeholder engagement was also expanded through SDG Open Day activities involving more than 120 organisations and nearly 200 individuals, reflecting growing national participation in sustainable development efforts. However, significant challenges remain in poverty reduction, regional inequality, climate resilience, governance effectiveness, and environmental sustainability. Although the national poverty rate declined from 29.6 per cent in 2016 to 27.8 per cent in 2020, child poverty among those aged 0–18 remained high at 35.7 per cent. Several SDGs, particularly SDGs 3, 5, 8, 10, 13, 15, and 16, showed declining or insufficient progress compared to the 2015 baseline. Accelerated implementation, stronger institutional coordination, improved regional development, increased public awareness, and enhanced climate and economic resilience will therefore be essential for Mongolia to achieve the SDGs by 2030.

No Poverty
Score: 2
Justification Mongolia’s long-term development policy, Vision 2050, aims to reduce poverty by half by 2030. However, poverty reduction indicators increased compared to the 2014 baseline, showing that intensified action is required. The poverty rate declined from 29.6% in 2016 to 28.4% in 2018 and 27.8% in 2020, yet it remains higher than the Asia-Pacific average. Children aged 0–18 were the most affected group, with a poverty rate of 35.7%.
Challenges Economic recession, inequality in consumption distribution, and regional disparities slowed poverty reduction. Six out of eight key regional development issues were identified as challenges affecting SDG 1. Rural and provincial areas continue to face limited opportunities, lack of jobs, and migration towards Ulaanbaatar.
Progress/

Solution

The Government revised the Law on Development Policy and Planning and aligned Vision 2050 with the SDGs. The New Recovery Policy was introduced in 2021 to restore the economy and remove development bottlenecks. Mongolia also strengthened monitoring systems through the SDG Dashboard and expanded the number of nationally calculated SDG indicators from 138 to 156 by February 2023.
Unsolved Challenges Poverty reduction remains on a reverse trend, and implementation progress is insufficient to meet the 2030 target. Regional inequality, weak local economic opportunities, and inadequate policy frameworks for regional development continue to hinder sustainable poverty reduction.
Zero Hunger
 Score: 2
Justification Mongolia identified SDG 2 as one of the goals making “considerable progress” towards achieving the 2030 Agenda. Parliament Resolution No. 36 of 2022 specifically focused on measures to ensure food supply and safety, reflecting the Government’s commitment to strengthening national food security systems. Sustainable agriculture and livestock development were recognised as important components of economic and rural sustainability.
Challenges Food security indicators declined compared to the 2015 baseline. Weak food and processing sector policies, limited regional development coordination, and insufficient climate adaptation in the livestock sector were identified as major barriers. Harsh climatic conditions, including zud, negatively affected livestock productivity, nutrition, and rural livelihoods. Regional disparities also limited equal access to food production and distribution systems.
Progress/

Solution

Commercial banks and private sector organisations actively supported SDG 2 through sustainable financing and food security-related initiatives. Khan Bank included SDG 2 among the eight SDGs supported through its sustainability financing activities, while Mongolian Consulting Service (MCS) Group linked its sustainable production activities with SDG 2 as part of its sustainability and environmental management programmes. In addition, Parliament Resolution No. 36 of 2022 was adopted to strengthen national food supply and food safety systems, reflecting Mongolia’s continued commitment towards food security and sustainable agriculture under SDG 2.
Unsolved Challenges Food and processing sector policies supporting regional and local development remain unclear, while climate vulnerability in the livestock sector continues to threaten long-term food security and sustainable agriculture.
Good Health
Score: 2
Justification Promoting health was identified as requiring “more attention” because implementation remains poor or stagnant. Declining indicators included maternal mortality, non-communicable diseases, essential healthcare services, and public health emergency preparedness.
Challenges The COVID-19 pandemic exposed inadequate public health crisis preparedness and reduced the quality and availability of healthcare services, increasing inequality. Four out of eight regional development issues were also found to affect SDG 3 implementation.
Progress/

Solution

The Government launched health sector financing reform in 2021 as part of SDG-aligned budgeting reforms. Mongolia also expanded SDG monitoring systems and integrated health-related indicators into national development planning and evaluation frameworks.
Unsolved Challenges Healthcare inequality, insufficient preparedness for public health emergencies, and inadequate regional access to health services continue to hinder progress. Pandemic-related disruptions and geopolitical conflicts further affected healthcare systems and service delivery.
Quality Education
Score: 2
Justification Promoting quality education was identified as an SDG that had made “considerable progress” towards achieving the 2030 Agenda. Education indicators, including completion of secondary and higher education, were integrated into Mongolia’s inequality and opportunity assessments.
Challenges Indicators related to information and communication technology skills and shortages of professional teachers declined compared to the 2015 baseline. Four out of eight regional development issues were identified as affecting SDG 4 implementation. Young people also reported insufficient education on sustainable development within school curricula.
Progress/

Solution

The Government initiated reforms to align education financing with sectoral performance, quality, and results beginning in 2022. Sustainable development awareness initiatives, such as SDG Open Day, involved more than 120 organisations and nearly 200 individuals. Commercial banks and private sector organisations also supported SDG 4 through social responsibility and sustainable investment programmes.
Unsolved Challenges There remains insufficient dissemination of sustainable development knowledge, weak ICT-related educational outcomes, shortages of qualified teachers, and unequal educational opportunities between urban and rural areas. Citizens’ awareness of the SDGs also remains limited, with only one in three respondents aware of the SDGs.

 

Gender Equality
Score: 1
Justification Mongolia identified gender equality as one of the SDGs requiring “more attention” due to insufficient progress towards the 2030 Agenda. Indicators related to violence against women and girls increased compared to the 2015 baseline.
Challenges Gender-based violence, unequal participation in decision-making, and weak implementation of gender-sensitive policies remain major concerns. Regional development assessments also identified governance and institutional weaknesses affecting SDG 5 implementation.
Progress/

Solution

Mongolia integrated SDG 5 into national policy frameworks, including Vision 2050 and development planning reforms. SDG financing and monitoring systems were strengthened through improved national indicator reporting and multi-stakeholder participation.
Unsolved Challenges Violence against women and girls continues to increase, while implementation gaps, limited institutional coordination, and insufficient public awareness hinder progress towards achieving gender equality.

 

Water & Sanitation
Score: 2
Justification Mongolia identified clean water and sanitation as one of the SDGs showing “considerable progress” towards implementation of the 2030 Agenda. Water-related sustainable financing initiatives were also supported by the private sector.
Challenges Water resource management remains affected by regional disparities, environmental degradation, and climate-related risks. Population concentration in Ulaanbaatar and uneven regional development continue to increase pressure on water infrastructure and sanitation systems.
Progress/

Solution

Private sector organisations, including Khan Bank and MCS Group, aligned financing and sustainability programmes with SDG 6. Mongolia also strengthened policy coordination and SDG monitoring systems through integrated planning and budgeting reforms.
Unsolved Challenges Regional inequalities in infrastructure, weak environmental management, and increasing climate vulnerability continue to challenge sustainable access to clean water and sanitation services.
Clean Energy
Score: 2
Justification Affordable and clean energy was identified as one of the SDGs making “considerable progress” towards the 2030 Agenda. Mongolia also recognised energy transition and sustainable financing as national priorities.
Challenges Energy sector development remains constrained by regional infrastructure gaps, dependence on traditional energy systems, and climate-related pressures. Urban concentration and uneven economic development continue to increase energy demand.
Progress/

Solution

Commercial banks and private sector organisations expanded sustainable financing aligned with SDG 7. Khan Bank incorporated SDG 7 into its sustainability financing activities, while government reforms strengthened development planning and sectoral budgeting mechanisms.
Unsolved Challenges Mongolia continues to face difficulties in ensuring balanced regional energy access, reducing environmental impacts, and accelerating the transition towards cleaner and more sustainable energy systems.
Decent Work
Score: 1
Justification SDG 8 was identified as requiring “more attention” because implementation progress remained insufficient. Indicators relating to informal employment and unemployment increased compared to the 2015 baseline.
Challenges Economic recession, labour market inequality, unemployment, and regional disparities limited progress towards inclusive economic growth. Migration towards Ulaanbaatar increased pressure on employment opportunities and public services.
Progress/

Solution

The Government introduced the New Recovery Policy in 2021 to restore economic growth and address development bottlenecks. Mongolia also revised development planning laws and strengthened SDG-aligned budgeting and monitoring systems.
Unsolved Challenges High unemployment, informal employment, regional inequality, and weak economic diversification continue to hinder sustainable economic growth and decent work opportunities.

 

Industry & Infrastructure
Score: 2
Justification Mongolia identified SDG 9 as one of the goals that had made “considerable progress” towards achieving the 2030 Agenda. The country strengthened infrastructure and industrial development planning under Vision 2050 and the New Recovery Policy. Private sector organisations also aligned sustainability initiatives with SDG 9. Khan Bank incorporated SDG 9 into its sustainable financing activities, while MCS Group linked industrial production and innovation initiatives with other SDGs.
Challenges Regional infrastructure inequality remained a major challenge. Six out of eight regional development issues were identified as directly affecting SDG implementation, including weak transport and logistics connectivity, concentration of economic activity in Ulaanbaatar, and inadequate industrial diversification. Population migration to urban areas increased pressure on roads, housing, energy, and public infrastructure. ICT-related indicators also declined compared to the 2015 baseline.
Progress/

Solution

The Government revised the Law on Development Policy and Planning and integrated SDGs into medium- and long-term development frameworks. The New Recovery Policy introduced in 2021 focused on economic recovery, infrastructure expansion, border port development, energy, industrial productivity, and digital transformation. Mongolia also expanded SDG monitoring by increasing nationally calculated SDG indicators from 138 to 156 by February 2023. Sustainable financing mechanisms involving commercial banks and private enterprises further supported innovation and infrastructure development.
Unsolved Challenges Infrastructure disparities between urban and rural regions remain unresolved. Mongolia continues to face limited industrial diversification, weak regional connectivity, inadequate ICT capacity, and dependence on concentrated urban development. Environmental pressures and insufficient investment in resilient infrastructure continue to slow progress towards sustainable industrialisation.
Inequality
Score: 2
Justification Reducing inequality was identified as requiring “more attention” because several inequality-related indicators worsened compared to the baseline period. Poverty, unemployment, and unequal access to opportunities remained significant concerns. Mongolia’s multidimensional inequality assessment incorporated indicators related to education, employment, income, and social services.
Challenges Regional imbalance remained one of the most critical development barriers. Economic activity, population, and services remained highly concentrated in Ulaanbaatar, resulting in unequal access to education, healthcare, employment, and infrastructure across provinces. Poverty among children aged 0–18 reached 35.7%, significantly higher than the national poverty rate of 27.8% in 2020. Informal employment and unemployment indicators also increased compared to the 2015 baseline.
Progress/

Solution

The Government aligned Vision 2050 and national development planning with SDG targets to address inequality through regional development and social policy reforms. Mongolia strengthened SDG financing, monitoring, and evaluation systems, while increasing the number of nationally reported SDG indicators from 138 to 156. Public awareness campaigns and SDG Open Day activities involving more than 120 organisations and nearly 200 individuals also supported inclusive participation.
Unsolved Challenges Regional inequality, unequal distribution of services, child poverty, unemployment, and social disparities remain unresolved. Urban migration continues to widen economic and social gaps between Ulaanbaatar and rural provinces, while implementation progress remains insufficient to meet the 2030 targets.
Sustainable Cities
Score: 2
Justification Mongolia recognised sustainable urban development as a national priority due to rapid urbanisation and population concentration in Ulaanbaatar. Regional development challenges significantly affected sustainable settlement planning, housing, transport, and public service delivery.
Challenges Migration towards Ulaanbaatar intensified pressure on housing, transport systems, air quality, water supply, sanitation, healthcare, and education services. Regional development analysis identified weak local development policies and insufficient infrastructure planning as major barriers. Environmental degradation and climate-related risks also threatened sustainable urban development.
Progress/

Solution

The Government introduced integrated regional development and infrastructure reforms under Vision 2050 and the New Recovery Policy. SDG-aligned planning, budgeting, and monitoring systems were strengthened to improve urban governance and public infrastructure management. Mongolia also improved national SDG monitoring capacity by expanding the number of calculated indicators from 138 to 156 by February 2023.
Unsolved Challenges Urban congestion, regional imbalance, environmental pollution, inadequate infrastructure, and climate vulnerability continue to affect sustainable city development. Unequal access to housing and public services between urban and rural communities remains unresolved.

 

Responsible Consumption
Score: 2
Justification SDG 12 was identified as one of the goals making “considerable progress” towards the 2030 Agenda. Mongolia increased engagement with sustainable production and consumption practices through private sector participation and sustainable financing initiatives. MCS Group aligned production activities with SDGs 12, and Khan Bank integrated SDG 12 into sustainable financing activities.
Challenges Unsustainable production systems, environmental degradation, weak waste management, and limited regional industrial planning remained major concerns. Climate change impacts, especially on livestock and natural resources, further affected sustainable consumption and production systems.
Progress/

Solution

The Government strengthened sustainable development governance through revised planning laws, SDG-integrated budgeting, and expanded monitoring frameworks. Commercial banks and businesses supported responsible production through sustainability-linked investment and financing programmes. SDG awareness initiatives also promoted stakeholder engagement and sustainability education.
Unsolved Challenges Mongolia continues to face difficulties in achieving sustainable industrial production, reducing environmental degradation, strengthening waste management systems, and balancing economic growth with environmental sustainability. Climate vulnerability and weak regional policy coordination remain major unresolved issues.
Climate Action
Score: 2
Justification Mongolia identified climate action as one of the SDGs requiring “more attention” because several climate-related indicators declined compared to the 2015 baseline. Climate change was recognised as a major factor affecting economic sustainability, livestock productivity, environmental protection, and regional development. Zud conditions and extreme weather events significantly affected the livestock sector and rural livelihoods.
Challenges Climate vulnerability remained a critical national challenge. Weak adaptation capacity in the livestock sector, environmental degradation, desertification, and increasing frequency of climate-related disasters affected sustainable development. Regional development assessments identified weak environmental management and climate resilience policies as barriers affecting multiple SDGs. Mongolia also faced increased pressure from urbanisation, pollution, and resource depletion.
Progress/

Solution

The Government integrated climate-related targets into Vision 2050, the New Recovery Policy, and SDG-aligned planning frameworks. Sustainable financing initiatives by Khan Bank and MCS Group supported environmental sustainability, clean production, and climate-related SDGs, including SDGs 13 and 15. Mongolia also strengthened SDG monitoring systems by increasing nationally calculated indicators from 138 to 156 by February 2023. Multi-stakeholder initiatives such as SDG Open Day promoted climate awareness and sustainable development participation.
Unsolved Challenges Mongolia continues to face severe climate vulnerability, weak adaptation capacity, land degradation, desertification, and insufficient climate-resilient infrastructure. Livestock losses caused by harsh climatic conditions and inadequate environmental governance remain major unresolved issues affecting long-term sustainability.
Life Below Water
Score: 2
Justification Although Mongolia is a landlocked country, SDG 14 was included within national sustainable development monitoring and environmental protection frameworks. Water resource protection and sustainable environmental governance were recognised as important components of long-term sustainability planning under Vision 2050 and the SDGs.
Challenges Water ecosystems remained vulnerable to environmental degradation, pollution, climate change, and weak regional environmental management. Uneven regional development and increasing urban concentration placed additional pressure on water resources and sanitation systems. Environmental governance limitations also affected effective ecosystem conservation and sustainable resource management.
Progress/

Solution

The Government strengthened SDG-related environmental monitoring and integrated sustainability indicators into development planning frameworks. Private sector organisations, including Khan Bank and MCS Group, supported sustainability initiatives linked with water management, environmental protection, and responsible production.
