U.S. Ambassador to Mongolia Michael Klecheski announced the U.S. government, through the United States Agency for International Development (USAID), is providing an additional $3 million (MNT 8.5 billion) to further strengthen the United States-Mongolia partnership to meet shared development goals.

As part of the recently announced $2.76 billion in U.S. government funding to address the global food crisis, the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) will provide new resources to Mongolia to protect vulnerable populations from the escalating crisis exacerbated by Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. Like many other countries in the region, Mongolia imports a significant amount of wheat, sunflower oil, fertilizer, and other products from Ukraine.

These pediatric vaccines are part of President Biden’s commitment to donate COVID-19 vaccine doses to countries around the world.
