Programs such as this should take a holistic approach to measuring and abating air pollution. Although substantial progress has been made, longer-term policy measures to address the ongoing air quality issue in Mongolia are still needed The increased concentrations of sulfur dioxide and nitrogen dioxide show shortcomings in the program’s overall achievements, along with the concentrations of small particulate matter which remain above World Health Organization’s guidelines, necessitating more policy actions.

Lesson
Publication of air quality should be institutionalized to provide a feedback loop to policy makers and to empower the public to assess overall progress. ADB’s participation in the longer-term framework for air pollution abatement will reinforce the feedback and will be an instrument to provide additional assistance that will ensure the continued air pollution reduction in Ulaanbaatar and other urban areas in Mongolia.

Lesson
Overconservative cost estimation during the implementation of the multitranche financing facility (MFF) tranche projects may reduce the funding availability for other investments and result in low utilization of the approved MFF amount. Tranche 2’s actual total cost was $64.97 million, 60% of the budgeted amount, and ADB’s loan disbursement was only 61% of the committed amount.
