Signing of Record of Discussions on Technical Cooperation Project with Mongolia: Project for strengthening the self-reliance support system by focusing on the creation of job opportunities for people in need www.jica.go.jp

On December 28, 2022 the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) signed a Record of Discussions with the Government of Mongolia in Ulaanbaatar for a technical cooperation project, “Project to Strengthen Self-Reliance Support System Focusing on Creation of Job Opportunities for People in Need”.
In Mongolia, the development of mineral resources in the early 2010s led to rapid economic growth, but such growth has remained sluggish ever since. While the country’s poverty rate temporarily decreased from 38.8% in 2010 to 21.6% in 2014, the subsequent economic slump caused the rate to rise again to 29.6% in 2016 and to remain high, recorded as 27.8% in 2020.
In response to this economic stagnation, the Mongolian government has initiated policies to reduce the amount of social welfare expenditure as a percentage of public finances. As a part of this initiative, and in order to promote the policy “Social Assistance to Employment”, the government has tightened the conditions for receiving cash payments for the poor, such as requiring registration with a vocational training mediation agency. However, households and individuals in need who rely on social welfare services for their livelihoods are not immediately able to find jobs even after registering with a vocational training agency. In addition, the system for connecting such people to employment is not fully in place. Under these circumstances, and with the amendment of the Social Welfare Law and the Employment Promotion Law in 2022, the Mongolian government aims to improve the employment support system for households and individuals in need.
This project will support the improvement of employment-readiness support services for households and individuals in need in Mongolia and is expected to lead to the self-reliance and social participation of the population that is dependent on social welfare services. It also aims to realize an inclusive society and to contribute to SDGs (Sustainable Development Goals) Goal 1 (No poverty) and 8 (Decent work and economic growth).

Russian electricity exports to Asia growing – minister www.rt.com

Russia’s electricity supplies to China and Mongolia will see an overall 20% jump by the end of this year, Energy Minister Nikolay Shulginov has said.
Estimates by the Russian energy giant Inter RAO suggest that the country has supplied a record 4.4-4.5 billion kilowatt-hours (kWh) of electrical power to China in 2022. Data shows that China’s electricity consumption had risen in December due to colder weather. This has also pushed demand for coal and gas for heating higher.
“This year [2022] we can talk about the growth of eastbound [electricity] exports, that is, total exports to China and Mongolia have increased by 20%, and there will be an uptick of about 16% to China by the end of the year,” Shulginov revealed last week in an interview with the TV channel Rossiya-24.
Inter RAO’s data shows the volume of electricity supplies to China last year amounted to 3.97 billion kWh, which was 29.9% more than in 2020. Exports to Mongolia in 2021 rose to 0.49 billion kWh, up 55.9% in annual terms.
Inter RAO supplies electricity to China through three transmission lines that are capable of delivering up to 7 billion kilowatt-hours of electrical power per year.
In the past 30 years since it started buying electricity from Russia, China has imported over 30,000 GWh. The power is used in the three northeastern provinces of Liaoning, Heilongjiang and Jilin.
