  7. Challenges faced by CSO’s in Mongolia

  8. Ministry of Agriculture is reluctant to engaged CSO’s / FO’s especially when CSO’s has some sort of monitoring responsibility over a certain government project. • Involvement of CSO’s in government implemented projects is a new paradigm, and because it is a new modality, government agencies do not have the experience to effectively manage the interaction, and therefore is not able to benefit from the engagement.

  9. There is lack of transparency and accountability among government agencies

  10. Recommendations

  11. Sustain CSO’s action of engaging government agencies either as proponent of change, partners of reform, voice of the people, or fiscalizer to stop corruption. • Strengthen trust building measures between government agencies and the civil society organizations • Mongolia CSO’s need to learn from the experience of other GAFSP project countries on how CSO’s engage their respective governments

  12. Mongolian CSO’s need to strategize on how they can add value to GAFSP • Mongolian CSO’s need to learn how to constructively engage the government. • Mongolian CSO’s also need to enhance their sense of accountability and transparency.
