Program Overview :: Economic Growth

Gobi Initiative

Implemented by Mercy Corps International, the Gobi Initiative promotes economic growth by developing and strengthening rural businesses. Activities include facilitating financial transactions with local banks; technical support for herders and small and medium-sized enterprises; and providing expanded business information services through various media, including radio programs and the monthly magazine Rural Business News.

Ger Initiative

Implemented by CHF International, this project promotes business development and employment services for poor residents of Mongolia's four largest urban centers of Ulaanbaatar, Darkhan, Erdenet, and Choibalsan.

Economic Policy Reform and Competitiveness (EPRC)

Implemented by Chemonics, Inc., EPRC provides the U.S. Government with a quick-response mechanism for addressing a wide range of economic policy reform and private sector development issues. Working in conjunction with the Prime Minister's office, technical experts provide information and analysis on key issues related to trade, investment, and private sector development. Specially targeted emphases include commercialization of the energy sector, and strengthening industries such as tourism and cashmere where Mongolia has a competitive advantage.
