ADRA Mongolia is supporting the second year of a four year program to establish food security in one of the poorest and most remote urban capitals in the country, Bayan Ulgii Province. Food, housing, health care and transport are between 40-60 percent more expensive in Ulgii than elsewhere in Mongolia. Ulgii is one of the most populous urban centres in the country and has the second highest rate of unemployment, indicating the low standards of living prevalent in the province. The project will benefit 600 households and aim to improve their livelihoods by focusing on building up the community’s food resource; developing self-reliance/empowerment; providing sustainable agriculture training and small business skill development; protecting local agriculture by building better links between producers and consumers; and taking a food systems approach that incorporates collaborations between multiple stakeholders and then linking together all aspects of the food system.
