MONGOLIA, SWITZERLAND AND GOOD GOVERNANCE

Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia /MONTSAME/ A cooperation memorandum has been established in frames of a cooperation in realizing a program on supporting governance and slackening a centralization.


It was signed on Wednesday by D.Battulga, a head of the Presidential Office; D.Nyamjav, a deputy head of the Cabinet Secretariat of Government; D.Battor, the State Secretary of the Ministry of Finance; and by Felix Fellmann, a country director of the Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation (SDC).

To be implemented with a support from the Presidential Office of Mongolia, the Cabinet Secretariat and the SDC, the program will help self-governance local administrations to have democratic authorities and to reflect views and proposals of localilties' people in decision-making. It is expected also that a new mechanism of direct democracy will be created to transfer the authority to localities by slackening a centralization and by letting the locals control the budget.

The memorandum reflects goals such as to build up a responsibility system for state and local administrative bodies, to let the local people put control over implementation of decisions, and to support the governance reform by giving people good public services.
