1 Mongolia Mid-Year Report against Long Term Planning Framework MAAMN August 2012 This report covers the period 1 January June schools were covered through a preparedness programme supported by USAID. Photo cred: Javier Barrera/IFRC Overview During the reporting period the IFRC Country office supported the Mongolia Red Cross Society (MRCS) to implement different projects in the areas of health, social care, and disaster management. The communitybased health and first aid (CBHFA) project is being implemented in four provinces in the Gobi Region of Mongolia and is preparing for its expansion into three districts of Ulaanbaatar City. A social care project has continued to address the needs of vulnerable and displaced populations in Uvurkhangai, Khuvsgul, and Tuv provinces. In the disaster management field, three main projects have been implemented. These are Norwegian Red Cross-supported community-based disaster preparedness (CBDP), DFID-funded community-based programming (CBP), national disaster response team (NDRT), and USAID-funded earthquake preparedness project. The year 2012 has been a parliamentary electoral year whereby 76 parliament seats would be pursued by various candidates from different parties. As a direct result, slight delays have taken place in the implementation of some of the planned activities. It is anticipated that some further delays are likely to arise with the implementation of activities throughout rural areas as October will see provincial-level elections Working in partnership In the first half of 2012, the following partner national societies supported the aforementioned programmes/projects in health, social care, and disaster management.

9 9 I Mongolia - Mid-year report 2012 Comments on progress towards outcomes Progress in most activities has been slower than expected due to the volatility and uncertainties of the political environment. The actions of some PNS have influenced the hard work of coordination and collaboration which has been forged for the past several years, to the detraction of the ability by the National Society to deliver on the set objectives and accomplish established targets. An internal Audit of the Delegation is to be completed before the end of the year which will seek to indentify greater efficiencies.

10 Stakeholder participation and feedback An integral part of the programme and project delivery is the ongoing consultation with key stakeholder groups. Key stakeholders are: Vulnerable communities affected by both man-made crises and natural disasters MRCS Main partner and implementer of all actions Partners/Donors including Finnish Red Cross, British Red Cross, Norwegian Red Cross, Japanese Red Cross Society, Australian Red Cross, Netherlands Red Cross, United Nations Agencies, Mongolian Government and its ministries and agencies, French Embassy, the Embassy of the Republic of Korea. Community members are consulted on the relevance of the services being provided and their input is used as essential aspects in the design and review processes. The introduction of the new salary scale following the Partnership Meeting held late last year has proven effective in deterring the exodus of talented MRCS personnel. Nevertheless, there is still a significant number of human resource management policy and procedures which require further review. One disappointing issue this year was the fact that the MRCS disaster management programme manager was appointed to work with the Finnish Red Cross (ECHO funded) project since March This appointment saw him unavailable to work on a range of existing and ongoing multilateral programmes. The use of MRCS personnel for short-term bilateral projects significantly jeopardizes the organizational development work that is being promoted within the MRCS in addition to compromising the interests of the Movement as a whole in Mongolia. Key Risks or Positive Factors Key Risks or Positive Factors 1) Exodus of talented MRCS personnel 2) Insufficient time for implementation of planned activities Priority High Medium Low H H Recommended Action Further development of the OD processes within the MRCS Review of operational plan and where possible increase the number of operational resources to accomplish set targets and objectives. 3) Delay in planned activities due to local election M Review of planned activities to ensure as much as can be accomplished within a socio-political volatile environment Lessons learned and looking ahead It is important that the unnecessary and negative implications resulting from the unilateral actions of one partner national society be identified as a factor to avoid in the future.
