As a result of the project, child mortality rate decreased three-fold in Bayanzurkh district between 2019 and 2020. Moreover, Bayankhongor aimag became a smog-free aimag thanks to the 85-100 percent discount provision of a package called CHIPS (Cooking, Heating, Insulation, Products and Services), which was invented in collaboration with the School of Civil Engineering and Architecture of the Mongolian University of Science and Technology, to 230 ger-area households of the aimag. 150 additional packages were granted to 148 households and 2 ger-kindergartens of Bayankhongor, Gobi-Altai, and Umnugobi aimags and Bayanzurkh district.
A Reference Air Quality Monitoring Station (BAM 1020) was established in Bayankhongor aimag for measuring and reporting PM 2.5 concentration level hourly and 7 air quality and dust meters were installed at kindergartens and health centers of Bayanzurkh and Bayankhongor.
