APPROVED AND INITIATED THE IMPLEMENTATION OF SPECIALIZED CARE REFORM PROGRAM FOR THE ELDERLY

2/24/2021

Under the Strengthening Fiscal and Financial Stability Project, a joint project of the Ministry of Finance of Mongolia and the World Bank, concrete steps are being taken to improve the quality and accessibility of care services, which are an integral part of social welfare reform.

The first care organization in Mongolia has been established and developed for more than 90 years. Today, in addition to the National Center for the Elderly in Batsumber, Tuv province, there are 7 state and locally owned, 4 private, and a total of 12 care centers. Mongolia's population is aging and the demographic load of the elderly is on the rise. Therefore, it is important to improve the elderly care, renew the specialized care services in accordance with international standards, introduce alternative services, and increase the participation of the private sector and local communities. 

Under the technical assistance from the World Bank's Strengthening Fiscal and Financial Stability Project, a national consultant was hired and developed the Reform program for specialized care for the elderly, which was approved by the Government Resolution No. 84 dated March 04, 2020. 

The goal of this program is to improve the availability and quality of elderly care services by improving its legal environment, financing system, management, and organization of specialized care services for the elderly. 





In collaboration with the Ministry of Labor and Social Protection, the World Bank's Strengthening Fiscal and Financial Sustainability Project has provided training and awarded certificate to more than 70 caregivers in 11 public, local, and private care centers as part of the program to qualify, continuously train, and upgrade the skills of caregivers. 
The practical workshop was organized at the National Center for the Elderly in Batsumber soum, Tuv province, allowing the regional and private care centers to visit, learn, and share experiences with the public care centers.

In 2021, it is planned to develop a registration and information software for the social workers and care receivers of the care centers, and an online training platform for continuous training of care center's staff.
