IFAD in Mongolia: voices from the field

Helping nomadic families prepare for a complex future in Mongolia

Mongolia’s punishing climate and short growing season limit the variety in people’s diets and require families to work hard during the brief summer. An IFAD-supported programme has introduced herders to sustainable land management practices and has helped people grow vegetables during the summer, providing both nutrients and an opportunity to earn by selling the surplus. The programme has also established mobile kindergartens, which serve as a day-care service for busy parents while giving the youngsters a head start on learning.
