Policy”, the “Open Uvurkhangai'' program has been developed with the aim of keeping the
balance of development of the city and the countryside.

administrations, civil organizations, private sectors, and public representatives to share their suggestions for the program.
Uvurkhangai
aimag is aiming to grow its population by 10 percent by developing its economy
and creating a healthy living environment. In the last 10 years, over 40.000 people moved from

issues, divorce, and living environment.

of the program is also to improve the accessibility of government services,
increase business opportunities, and improve the living conditions of
those who want to move from Ulaanbaatar city to the aimag.

offered by the aimag will be diversified,
