Ulaanbaatar, April 21, 2025 /MONTSAME/. The Ministry of Industry and Mineral Resources of Mongolia, in partnership with the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) in Mongolia, launched the “Integra” Initiative: Integrity for Public Goods and Services in the Extractive Sector.


This Initiative will be piloted in Mongolia, the Republic of Angola, the Republic of Madagascar, and the Republic of Zimbabwe, with support from the Governments of the Republic of Korea, the Kingdom of Denmark, and the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg through UNDP’s Funding Window for Governance, Peacebuilding, Crisis and Resilience. It is designed to enhance transparency, accountability, and inclusive governance within the mining sector.
