What We Do
Mercy Corps Mongolia intends to achieve sustainable change in three key areas that contribute to the above goal:

1. Economic Development - Mercy Corps takes a community-led and market-driven approach to facilitate lasting systemic change, supporting the establishment and growth of sustainable mechanisms for improving access to information, training, financial services, business services and markets.
2. Civil Society - Mercy Corps works with local Civil Society Organisations to foster social innovations that: a) establish and/or energize local civil society, b) assist Civil Society Organisations to build their capacity for delivering relevant, accountable services that strengthen their reputation and relevance to the communities in which they operate, and c) strengthen productive relationships between government, civil society and businesses through information exchange, public discussion and competitive outsourcing of government contracts to promote local economic growth underpinned by greater transparency, accountability and understanding between stakeholders.
3. Natural Resource Management - By improving access to, and use of, information and new technologies Mercy Corps works to reverse the effects of pastureland degradation and desertification that have intensified in recent years; increasing incentives for adopting environmentally responsible practices and improving systems for managing shared resources.

Where We Work
The majority of activities implemented by Mercy Corps Mongolia target rural areas.
