Anti-corruption reforms
Petty corruption has been gradually declining in Mongolia, but in general corruption is widespread. Anti-corruption laws and action plans are poorly implemented. The Independent Authority Against Corruption (IAAC) has continued and somewhat stepped up its policy coordination and prevention work, however it lacked independence, resources, and necessary support from state bodies to fully exercise its mandate. Mongolia has also made enforcement efforts to address pervasive grand corruption: several high-level officials were convicted and a number of investigations are ongoing.

Mongolia has adopted the National Anti-Corruption Strategy and its implementation Action Plan with wide stakeholder consultations carried out by the IAAC. The authorities consider the adoption of the policy documents as one of the key achievements in the area of anti-corruption in Mongolia. While the participatory approach is commendable, the shortcomings related to the lack of clear timeframes and measurable indicators may hamper the implementation. The responsible agencies must put necessary efforts and show full cooperation with the IAAC to develop and implement corresponding individual action plans of public bodies. The Government is also encouraged to proactively and systematically engage with civil society addressing the concerns of the stakeholders in this regard.
