3/9/2022

With the support of the European Union and the World Bank, the Ministry of Finance of Mongolia, in cooperation with Unread Media, is launching the “Budget Your Future” campaign. The purpose of this campaign is to support the Government's effort to strengthen fiscal transparency and accountability in Mongolia. The campaign will provide the public with a variety of content and events, a simple understanding of the budget as well as information on how to participate during the budget cycle - budget proposal, approval, and execution. 

FOLLOWING EVENTS WILL BE ORGANIZED DURING THE CAMPAIGN

As part of this campaign, the following content is being prepared and disseminated to raise awareness and expand the knowledge of the public. These include:

  • "Zoom" online discussion on the budget and its transparency
  • Video series content (https://www.facebook.com/UnreadToday/videos/628315348500463)
  • Podcast on Glass Account Law and Procurement Law Reforms 
  • Guest expert articles written by representatives of civil society organizations, economists and government officials.

In addition, the following activities have been organized to increase the use of Citizens' Budget websites and brochures, to promote budget data usage, and to increase citizen participation.

  • An essay contest “If I were the Minister of Finance ...” was organized among high school students and the winners were announced. A total of more than 700 participants registered for the competition, which received about 200 entries, aimed at raising awareness of the budget among secondary school students. Most of the students who submitted their essays to the competition wrote real-life examples and conducted research on what is most needed for our country development, and very few essays were based solely on their own experience. The main value of the competition, which aims to raise awareness among children, who are the future of the country, is not only the prize, but also the future result of the hard work of each participant.

Further, following events will be organized during the campaign:

  • Research conference for young professionals, university teachers and students
  • Dataquest among young professionals, university teachers, students and high school students
  • A four-week mentoring program for 15 participants in the financial and economic sector
