Mongolia issues bear warning after multiple reported sightings www.xinhuanet.com

Mongolia's Ministry of Environment and Climate Change on Tuesday issued a brown bear warning amid fear of potential harm to humans.
The warning came after multiple brown bear sightings were reported near residential areas across Mongolia's northern province of Darkhan-Uul between Aug. 14 and Aug. 15.
According to experts, bear attacks on livestock have increased in recent years due to climate change, food shortages, overexploitation of natural resources, and forest fires.
The ministry has urged residents of some provinces to protect themselves and livestock from potential attacks of brown bears.

Mongolia Water Compact Update: On Time and On Budget www.mn.usembassy.gov

The United States Government concluded its Foreign Assistance Review and reaffirmed its support for projects and programs implemented under the Water Compact, signed between U.S. Millennium Challenge Corporation (MCC) and the Government of Mongolia. This decision ensures continued funding for the program, which directly supports economic growth and private enterprise.  This contributes to the safety, strength, and prosperity of the American people through time-limited investments that promote business growth and stability around the world.  
Jointly financed by a generous $350 million contribution from the American people (approximately 1.2 trillion MNT) and an additional $112 million from the Government of Mongolia, the Water Compact is a cornerstone of the strategic engagement between the United States and Mongolia.
Compact projects draw on U.S. expertise in water infrastructure, engineering, and technology, with firms such as Tetra Tech, Inc. and AECOM leading the design and oversight of major construction initiatives. These projects highlight the quality, innovation, and technical leadership that American companies bring to global development challenges. Across its portfolio, MCC has engaged U.S. firms in contracts totaling more than $1.4 billion, reflecting the strong role of American private enterprise in delivering sustainable infrastructure solutions.
By addressing Mongolia’s urgent need for a reliable water supply, the compact projects support long-term economic growth and regional stability—conditions that strengthen Mongolia’s role as a dependable trade and investment partner. The program reinforces U.S. leadership abroad, underscoring a commitment to results-driven, cost-effective partnerships that deliver tangible benefits for both nations.
During a recent visit to the Compact site, U.S. Ambassador to Mongolia Richard Buangan hailed the U.S.- Mongolia MCC Water Compact as one of the largest public works projects in the Indo – Pacific region, and a testament of the commitment and engagement of the United States in Mongolia.
“This comprehensive program supports long-term water security for the residents and businesses of Ulaanbaatar—home to nearly half of the country’s population—and advances Mongolia’s development toward greater self-reliance and private sector investment. This high-impact investment in infrastructure helps position Mongolia as a reliable trade and business partner,” said the Ambassador.
Upon completion, it will significantly enhance water security and resilience for the city’s growing urban population of more than 1.5 million. The decision to continue funding reflects the United States’ commitment to supporting programs that deliver real returns, supporting programs that are results-driven, cost-effective, and aligned with American foreign policy.
Together, Mongolians and Americans are advancing pro-growth solutions that promote mutual benefit, advancing our shared priorities in economic development, and responsible resource management.

Success in Irrigated Agriculture: Results from a Field Experiment www.montsame.mn

The Ministry of Food, Agriculture, and Light Industry, with funding from the Asian Development Bank (ADB) and the Japan Fund for Poverty Reduction, is successfully implementing the Vegetable Production and Irrigated Agriculture Project in the Gobi region and Altai soum of Khovd aimag.
In the experimental field of the Boomin Am irrigation system in Altai soum, 2 to 4 varieties of each of the following fine vegetables – corn, peas, watermelon, melon, garlic, pepper, pumpkin, and earth apple have been successfully cultivated and harvested in abundance.
“Agro Alpha,” an agricultural consulting firm, provided expert guidance to a group of vegetable farmers in the soum, enabling them to cultivate various crops successfully despite severe weather conditions. Across a total area of 300 hectares, key infrastructure has been developed, including headworks, main canals, 3.7 kilometers of flood protection dams, reservoirs, and pumping station buildings. Additionally, five sprinkler irrigation machines have been installed. The team has also contributed to environmental and community improvements by planting 5,000 trees, constructing sidewalks, and installing waste bins. 
The Vegetable Production and Irrigated Agriculture Project, funded by the Asian Development Bank and the Japan Fund for Poverty Reduction, is being implemented from 2020 to 2026 across 19 soums in 11 aimags, including Khovd, Gobi-Altai, Zavkhan, Bayan-Ulgii, Selenge, Tuv, Khentii, Darkhan-Uul, Uvs, and Dornod. As part of the project, 12 irrigation systems have been renovated and rehabilitated, enabling the cultivation of over 7,000 hectares of irrigated vegetables, fruits, grains, and fodder crops. Over 3,500 households have benefited from methodological training and advisory services in vegetable farming, according to the Ministry of Food, Agriculture, and Light Industry.

Umnugobi to Become the First Aimag to Issue Bonds of Up to MNT 500 Billion www.montsame.mn

The Government of Mongolia issued approval to the Governor of Umnugobi aimag, Enkhbat Nasanbuyan, for the phased issuance of provincial securities worth up to MNT 500 billion in the domestic market to finance the construction of a 50-megawatt (MW) thermal power plant in Dalanzadgad soum.
Minister of Finance Javkhlan Bold and Governor of Umnugobi aimag Enkhbat Nasanbuyan were instructed to include the issuance of provincial securities in the annual budget draft. Additionally, Governor Enkhbat was directed to allocate the funds raised through the securities strictly for the purposes outlined in the Cabinet resolution, ensure the inclusion of repayment obligations in the aimag’s budget, and guarantee that repayments are made within the scheduled timeframe.
Energy consumption in Dalanzadgad soum, the capital of Umnugobi aimag, which has been steadily increasing in recent years, is expected to reach 105.8 million kilowatt-hours (kWh) in 2033, from 59.2 million kWh in 2023. The peak load of the centralized energy system reaching 1,636 MW in 2023 marks an 11.3 percent increase from 2022, highlighting the urgent need for a reliable energy source to support and sustain basic consumption.
The current 9-MW power plant in Dalanzadgad is outdated and can only handle an annual consumption of 30.6 million kWh. The supply of the remaining demand by the centralized energy system is considered unreliable. As a result, there is a pressing need to construct a 50-MW combined heat and power plant to accommodate the aimag’s growing energy consumption and ensure a stable supply.
The proposed plant is considered crucial not only for meeting the energy needs of Dalanzadgad soum but also for reducing the energy load in the region, establishing an independent power supply, and supporting essential infrastructure for mining operations, tourism, and local economic growth. According to the Media and Public Relations of the Government, Umnugovi aimag will be the first aimag in Mongolia to issue a bond.
