The program will be initially implemented in the three western aimags of Mongolia\u2014Bayan-Ulgii, Uvs, and Khovd. The program also promotes climate financing and private sector investment mechanisms that can be scaled up nationwide.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The program will be financed through a Multitranche Financing Facility (MFF) by ADB from 2023 to 2033. The total financing for the program is USD 735 million, and a financing agreement for the first tranche of USD 270 million has already been concluded.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong><b>I<\/b><\/strong><strong><b>mplementation Tranches<\/b><\/strong><strong><b>: <\/b><\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Tranche 1: 2024-2029<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Tranche 2: 2026-2031<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Tranche 3: 2028-2033<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The Aimags and Soums Green Regional Development Investment Program consists of four components:<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong><b>COMPONENT 1 \u2013 Construction and Urban Development<\/b><\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Development of climate-resilient, low-carbon, and livable aimag and soum centers.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong><b>COMPONENT 2 \u2013 Livestock and Rangeland Management<\/b><\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Implementation of climate-resilient, high-carbon sequestration, and sustainable rangeland and agricultural practices.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong><b>COMPONENT 3 \u2013 GIRAF Fund Management<\/b><\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Provision of inclusive financing for the development of low-carbon, climate-resilient livestock and agribusiness value chains.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong><b>COMPONENT 4 \u2013 Project Management<\/b><\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Institutional capacity building and policy development to support low-carbon, climate-resilient territorial development.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong><b>PROJECT BENEFITS<\/b><\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong><b>Development of livable aimag and soum centers<\/b><\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Support the development of aimag and soum centers that are climate-resilient, low-carbon, and livable.

Activities will follow an integrated approach and include: affordable housing, centralized heating, drainage and flood protection systems, energy, roads, public buildings, solid waste collection, transport and recycling, wastewater treatment, and improved water supply systems. Low-carbon solutions such as renewable energy, energy-efficient buildings and housing, waste recycling, and wastewater treatment technologies will be supported. Upgrading ger areas and improving access to affordable housing in aimag centers will also follow a unified approach.

This includes supporting vulnerable herder groups in implementing sustainable livestock practices (e.g., improving grazing practices, adjusting herd composition, reducing herd size, and improving breeds). Investment subprojects for public benefit will be implemented by herders who are members of pasture user groups (PUGs) and signatories to rangeland use agreements (RUAs), based on inclusive herd management plans. Financial support and certification systems will be developed for participating herder cooperatives. Incentives for herd reduction will be introduced. Rehabilitation of irrigation infrastructure and water conservation solutions will improve fodder production and enhance herders\u2019 capacity to cope with climate-induced water shortages. Animal health and veterinary services will be strengthened across the entire livestock value chain to ensure reliable disease control and traceability. Certification systems and improved herd quality and health will attract investments into low-carbon, climate-resilient livestock value chains and support linkages between certified herders, cooperatives, and buyers\u2014thus improving and sustaining herder livelihoods.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong><b>Development of livestock value chains<\/b><\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Inclusive financing mechanisms will be established to build low-carbon, climate-resilient livestock value chains.
