Civil society organizations network to cooperate with Governor Office of Zavkhan aimag
Society
Ulaanbaatar/MONTSAME/. The European Union funded project ‘Enhancing
the Civil society organizations’ contribution to sustainable local economic
development and growth of Zavkhan province’ has been successfully implemented
by the World Vision Mongolia since 2018 in partnership with the Zavkhan
Governor’s Office and the aimag’s CSOs. The main goal of the project is to
support inclusive, equitable and sustainable economic development by increasing
cooperation between Local Authority and provincial CSOs.
Back in 2018, in order to build the capacity of CSOs and to
increase the participation and representation of citizens in the local
development process, initially 25 CSO’s partnering with the project have joined
forces and established the ‘Together for Development’ network, which is chaired
by its Coordinating Body.
D. Tuvshinjargal, Governor of Zavkhan province, and R.
Altan-Ulzii, Head of the Coordinating Body of CSO Network, signed a long-term
partnership agreement that will ensure the sustainable cooperation between CSOs
and the local authorities in the further years, even after the project is
ended. The event was also attended by the Vice Governor, Head of Departments,
project staff and the members from 25 CSOs. During the event, CSOs and the
local authority shared their strategy and plans and discussed on possible collaborative
areas.
