Within the mid-term target program, it is planned to develop energy and infrastructure sectors and 20 objectives have been set for five fundamental directions: Ulaanbaatar and satellite cities, Urban planning, regional development and rural areas, Infrastructure development and Industrialization.

With great constructions to be carried out nationwide, the program aims to bring development of urban planning, energy, basic infrastructure and auto road network into the international standards, improve housing supply, provide citizens with jobs, make comprehensive solution of socioeconomic issues and ensure rights of the people to live in healthy and safe environment, said Chairman of National Development Agency B.Bayarsaikhan in his report.

The program’s implementation for 2021-2030 requires MNT66 trillion 968.9 billion, which will be funded with the state budget, foreign loan and assistance, public and private partnership, private investment, Development Bank of Mongolia and special fund of the government.

At the discussion, a member of Citizens’ Representative Khural of the capital (City Council) P.Bayarkhuu made a presentation lecture themed ‘Ulaanbaatar city development issues in the New Construction Program’, and State Secretary of the Ministry of Construction and Urban Development S.Magnaisuren provided a lecture ‘Development of rural areas in the New Construction Program’.

Aimed to ensure population to live in healthy and safe environment, the mid-term target program ‘New Construction’ was first adopted with the Parliament’s resolution No:36 in 2010. During the past 19 years since the program’s adoption, many works have been done, but there are still tasks that have been insufficiently realized, such as reduction of air pollution, increase of jobs and development of auto road network, energy sector and basic infrastructure.

Participants of the discussion touched that the program reflects numerous pressing issues including issues related traffic jam, connecting 21 aimags and border points with paved roads as well as housing program for ger area residents, but they were not realized actually; thus it must be on focus. They also advised that a newly developed program needs to be actual works, but not just a declaration.
