An extraordinary meeting of the National Council for Children, chaired by Mongolia's Prime Minister Uchral Nyam-Osor, was held on May 31.

At the meeting, officials formally announced the launch of the national movement “Say Yes for Children — Then Deliver” ("Khuukhdiin Tuluu Za Bol Zaaval Khii").

As part of the initiative:

An E-Kids section will be introduced within the E-Mongolia platform.

The green building of the Capital City Administration, located on the west side of Sukhbaatar Square, will be renovated and transformed into a Children’s Development Center.

A nationwide inspection campaign is ongoing.

All levels of government have been instructed to ensure that decisions made for children are translated into concrete actions, create safe living environments for every child, and provide transparent weekly public reports on progress.

Children and adolescents make up approximately one-third of the population of Ulaanbaatar. Therefore, according to the Mayor of Ulaanbaatar, Purevdagva Byaruuzana, all projects, development programs, public spaces, and urban infrastructure implemented in the capital will be designed with child-friendliness and safety as key priorities.

The mayor stated, “In previous years, there were many tragic incidents that showed the city had become a high-risk environment for children. We will work to prevent such incidents from happening again. Since launching efforts to eliminate hazards such as exposed electrical wires, open pits, and stagnant water throughout the city, citizens have submitted a large amount of information via their mobile phones. The Governor’s Office of Ulaanbaatar and the City Administration will work together to address all identified violations and hazards. Starting today, we will implement Prime Minister Uchral’s call: ‘Say Yes for Children — Then Deliver.’ We will investigate every complaint and suggestion submitted by citizens, resolve the issues, and report back on the results.”

The Prime Minister also announced that renovation and refurbishment work on the former City Administration building will begin on June 2 to convert it into the Children’s Development Center. Rather than relying primarily on government funding, the project is expected to be carried out in partnership with private-sector organizations.

Plans include creating specialized learning spaces focused on information technology, artificial intelligence (AI), English language education, innovation, creative thinking and problem-solving skills. The goal is to provide children with modern educational and developmental opportunities in a dedicated facility.
