USAID/Mongolia |
Greetings!
 Many thanks for visiting USAID/Mongolia’s new website. Mongolia is a fascinating and beautiful country, and those of us who are privileged to work here are doing so at a vitally important time in its history. I believe that our small, highly-focused program, in collaboration with the fine work of our outstanding partners, is helping to make a real difference in the lives of the Mongolian people. The projects we fund are working on some of the most pressing issues facing Mongolia today – policy reform, development of the private sector, privatization, reform of the judicial sector, and strengthening this country’s nascent democracy. With funds from central and regional sources, we are also engaged in protecting biodiversity, in expanding the use of information and communications technology, and in helping Mongolia take steps to protect itself from the scourge of HIV-AIDS. I think our portfolio is exciting, creative, and working in exactly the areas in which USAID is best-placed to assist Mongolia. As we develop and expand this website over the coming months, we hope to be able to share with you some of the reasons why this is indeed one of the best little USAID programs in the world. I welcome your suggestions for additions to these pages, and hope that you will visit us often. |

Eisenhower Fellowship Program
USAID/Mongolia is now accepting applications for the 2010 Woman Leadership Program (WLP). The 2010 WLP will bring to the United States 18 emerging leaders from fourteen countries during October through November 2010. The program provides two months of travel throughout the United States, with a custom-designed program for each participant. Meetings, conferences, and related events are tailored to each Fellow’s professional interests with his or her active participation (www.eisenhowerfellowships.org). Eisenhower Fellowships has invited the nominating countries in the following countries to submit nominees for the 2010 WLP:
In addition, Eisenhower Fellowships will broaden the geographic scope by setting aside three “at large” seats to enable other countries to submit nominees. The Fellows for these seats will be selected based on their caliber and competitiveness, regardless of country of origin. Anyone between the ages of 32-45 years who is interesting in applying for the Fellowship Program should first carefully read the Program criteria and background materials, and then complete and submit an application form in English. Applications must be submitted electronically to btuguldur@usaid.gov. The submission deadline is 5:00 PM, October 15, 2009. The 2010 Woman Leadership Program description, Criteria for Eisenhower Fellows, Information for 2010 WLP Eisenhower Fellowship Applicants, and the 2010 WLP Eisenhower Fellowships Application in electronic forms are provided below. |

Barry Primm went “wheels up” the first week of May, and at the end of the month a new USAID Representative to Mongolia was named. Chuck Howell, currently the Country Coordinator for Belarus working out of Kiev, Ukraine, is scheduled to arrive in September after a swearing-in ceremony in Washington. Chuck is well-known in Mongolia. He was the Peace Corps Director here from 1991-93, and he was subsequently the USAID Representative from 1995-96. After leaving Mongolia, Chuck worked in Eastern Europe, serving in the field in the former Yugoslavia, Croatia and Belarus. Chuck holds a Masters degree from the Johns Hopkins University School of International Affairs in Chinese Studies, and speaks—in addition to Thai—basic Russian and Chinese. We’re looking forward to welcoming Chuck back to the fold. Jon O’Rourke returned to USAID/Mongolia in May, to fill in as Senior Program Manager. Jon's consummate professionalism and familiarity with some of the more complex aspects of the Mission's portfolio has already made him a very welcome addition to the USAID/Mongolia staff. |
