While half of Mongolia's population lives in the capital, rural areas struggle with a lack of understanding about sanitation and clean water systems.

Mongolia is highly vulnerable to severe winter conditions and cold waves, known locally as ‘Dzud’. This condition has been made worse over the years due to climate change.

World Vision International - Mongolia’s goal is to achieve sustained impact on the well-being of 500,000 children in Mongolia, including 140,000 most vulnerable children.  

World Vision, in collaboration with the Institute for Economics and Peace (IEP), unveils its most comprehensive analysis to date of child well-being in East Asia.

World Vision Mongolia gave opportunities not only for me but also for many other children. Now we are all grown-ups who are succeeding in different sectors.

This report presents the voices of 69 children—33 girls and 36 boys—aged 14 to 17 from 10 countries, sharing their experiences and perspectives on migration. Through consultations, they discussed key themes, including the drivers of migration, its impact on children, identity documentation, challenges in civil registration, and recommendations for strengthening civil registration and vital statistics (CRVS) systems. The participating countries were Bangladesh, Cambodia, Laos, Mongolia, Myanmar, Nepal, the Philippines, Sri Lanka, Thailand, and Vietnam.

World Vision Mongolia has triggered a national response to anticipate the deteriorating Dzud situation in Mongolia which is likely to have negative impact on child well-being and the livelihoods of vulnerable families.
