Ulaanbaatar, July 21

Novotel Hotel

The United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) in Mongolia has commissioned an initiative to explore the answers to “What development means in a post pandemic Mongolia? What continues? What is restored? What can never be redone? What new opportunities now exist?”. 

To look at transformation possibilities through the systemic lens to for the last 2 months, a Reference Group consisting of a small group of local experts participated in a series of structured conversations looking at transformational possibilities through a systemic lens. It has begun to construct a strategic argument or a logic that explores both what the pandemic has done and what needs to be done. 

Now, using this work as a starting point, UNDP wishes to create a conversation about the nature of the post-normal and challenges and opportunities that pose for Mongolia. As the next step in this process, the ‘Sounding Board’ of thought leaders and key influencers from different walks of life in Mongolia was formed. The first meeting of the sounding board was organized on 21 July 2020, at Novotel Hotel in hybrid format of in-person and virtual within the rules and regulations put by the National Emergency Commission.
