UNDP and Ulaanbaatar jointly implementing the project on Supporting renewable energy transition in Ger districts

“Supporting Renewable Energy Transition in Ger Districts for Increased Livelihood Benefits” Project jointly organized by Ulaanbaatar City and the UNDP.

Deputy Governor of the Capital City of Mongolia in charge of the Social Sector, Green Development, and Air and Environmental Pollution Amartuvshin Amgalanbayar met with the United Nations Development Program Resident Representative Matilda Domovska on October 24, 2024. 

At the meeting, Deputy Governor Amartuvshin Amgalanbayar noted that the Memorandum of Understanding between Ulaanbaatar City and the United Nations Development Program was signed in 2016 and expressed his intention to expand further cooperation within the “Supporting Renewable Energy Transition in Ger Districts for Increased Livelihood Benefits” Project jointly organized by Ulaanbaatar City and the UNDP.

Due to the adverse impact of air pollution on human health, Mongolia needs to transition to new renewable energy models. Through the two-phase implementation of the Project, 50 households will receive support in purchasing and installing electric heaters and solar panels for heating purposes. This will facilitate healthy living conditions for vulnerable households free from indoor air pollutants. 

The Project “Supporting Renewable Energy Transition in Ger Districts for Increased Livelihood Benefits” will contribute significantly to the development of Ulaanbaatar City. UNDP Resident Representative Matilda Dimovska expressed her willingness to provide all-round support in strengthening bilateral cooperation to ensure the successful implementation of this Project.
