Bulgan /MONTSAME/ The World Bank’s Country Manager for Mongolia Andrei Mikhnev worked in Bulgan aimag, holding a meeting with authorities of the aimag and delegates of non-governmental organizations. "Mainstreaming Social Accountability in Mongolia Project" will be carried out by the WB in the aimag starting from September, 2020.
Social accountability refers to the broad range of actions and mechanisms beyond voting that citizens can use to hold the state to account and make it responsive to their needs, as well as actions on the part of government, civil society, media and other societal actors that promote or facilitate these efforts. Social accountability increases transparency and quality of government policy development and implementation processes, and thus becomes the principal method for solving governance issues that hinder improvement of quality of life of citizens. In doing so, the government receives the propositions from their citizens and defines critical issues, explores their root causes and implements possible solutions.
And the project will aim to improve cooperation between the public and civil society organizations, bring citizens’ control in Government action, create opportunities for citizens and the government to work together to develop their communities, and increase citizens engagement in budget planning, allocation, and approval process.
