However, efforts were made to minimize the impact of this reorganization on cooperative relations through prompt and timely gathering of information, and explanations of Japan’s cooperation policy to the Ministry at an early stage, among other measures. Although no parliamentary elections have been held since 2020 when this country assistance evaluation was conducted, efforts will be made to gather information about election trends toward the next elections scheduled for 2024. Recommendation 4: Clarification of the Division of Roles in Projects Involving Multiple Government Ministries/AgenciesImplementation Status of Response ActionsFollowing up from trials implemented in projects such as the “Project for Strengthening Teachers’ Ability and Reasonable Treatments for Children with Disabilities (START)” (Phase 1: August 2015 – July 2019, Phase 2: September 2020 – 2024 (scheduled)) and the “Project for Promoting Social Participation of Persons with Disabilities in Ulaanbaatar City” (May 2016 – May 2020), it has been decided that working groups comprising members from the Ministry of Education and Science and the Ministry of Health will be established at the launch of the upcoming “Project for the Establishment of Hospital Management and Medical Services at the Mongolia-Japan Teaching Hospital” (scheduled to commence in 2022). These working groups will hold meetings quarterly during the project period, aiming to ensure that cooperation is obtained corresponding to changes in the situation during its implementation.Annual Report on Japan’s ODA Evaluation 202228In the next revision to Japan’s country assistance policy, the key parts of the JICA Country Analysis Paper (JCAP), which provides information from the development aspect, were formulated and submitted to MOFA. This proposed outline was formulated in consultation with the Mongolian government, the World Bank (WB), Asian Development Bank (ADB), and the International Monetary Fund (IMF), while maintaining consistency with the economic cooperation policies of these organizations. With regard to regional development strategy, it is now the time for the Mongolian side to formulate a development strategy that brings out the characteristics of each region that matches their resources and development conditions. There are plans to formulate region-based support measures based on these Mongolian-side policies. With the amendment to the Civil Service Law of Mongolia in 2019, it has become mandatory for civil servants to return to the same posts after their studies abroad. The widespread implementation of the amended law after its enforcement has gradually secured the continuity of projects. As a result of the improved ability of civil servant candidates, the passing rate improved by 2.8 points year-on-year in 2022. Hence, we can say that there is a trend toward the gradual fulfillment of capable human resources for the civil service. In the aspect of project implementation, by adding not only the competent ministry but also agencies under their umbrellas to the working groups as counterpart organizations for the projects, efforts are ongoing to introduce forms of cooperation that retain knowhow widely in the relevant organizations.
