National Report 2022 (English version)
In 2016, the Parliament of Mongolia approved the "Mongolia's Sustainable Development Vision - 2030" in order to implement the "Sustainable Development Goals - 2030". The vision's goals and objectives are being implemented in the action programs, guidelines, action plans, projects, and programs of the Government of Mongolia, Governors of the capital city, aimags, soums, and districts, as well as NGOs and business entities. The objective to ensure inclusive, safe, resilient, and sustainable development of cities and towns is being achieved through large-scale development programs, projects, and measures such as improving the legal environment of Mongolia's urban development and land management, developing and submitting the "Human Settlements Development Plan of Mongolia" and the "Ulaanbaatar City Master Plan until 2040", providing the population with housing through the "Rental Housing Program", re-planning and redeveloping the Ger area, land readjustment in Ger area, demolishing and reconstructing apartment buildings that do not meet operational requirements, expanding green areas, public roads, and areas, implementing projects, programs, and measures to reduce disaster risk and adaptation to climate change, and constructing new apartment complexes and districts. The Mongolian government has given priority to housing by cutting the annual interest rate on new mortgages from 8% to 6% in 2020, increasing the chances of low-income households to access mortgage loans, and allocating 4,007 rental apartments from the State housing fund to the target group. Parliament approved some amendments to the Constitution of Mongolia in 2019, allowing for the establishment of a new system for ensuring the sustainability and continuity of Mongolia's development policy and planning. The revised version of the "Law on Development Policy and Planning and its management", approved in 2020 in line with the constitutional amendments, aims to strengthen development policy, planning, management, and organization, and develop and approve long, medium, and short-term development policy and planning documents of Mongolia to ensure consistency and conformity.
