closed

According to the United Nation's Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs, almost 60% of the total territory of Mongolia is experiencing a disaster called dzud, since the second half of December 2023, putting vulnerable herder households at serious risk and requiring a humanitarian response.Considering the scope of damages caused by the dzud and the government's constrained resources, it is recommended that an amount of $2.8 million is provided to the government as a grant financed by the APDRF, and up to 30% of the grant amount may be used retroactively for eligible expenditures incurred prior to grant effectiveness but not earlier than 8 December 2023 i.e. on the day the government activated its response through emergency operation centers.
