Increase Openness of Government Administrative Organizations (MN0065)

What problem does the commitment aim to address? 1.During the performance evaluation of ministries, state and local administrative organizations, participation of civil society organizations and professional associations will be ensured. 2.Ensure the civil society participation in policy evaluation.

What are the causes of the problem? 1. Currently ministries, state and local administrative organizations’ activities are evaluated and judged only by KPI indicators at the output level, and government organization capacity and effectiveness of its actions (consequences and effects) cannot be assessed. The organization's performance is regulated by the procedure approved by the Government of Mongolia's Resolution No. 206 of 2020, and according to this procedure, there is limited and unproductive participation from civil society organizations and professional associations in the government organizations’ evaluations. 2. State policy results are currently not evaluated. Sufficient grounds and research is not applied for decision-making on whether the policy was effective or ineffective, to continue or discontinue, or even implement another policy or not. The relevant regulations provide for monitoring and evaluation to be carried out in the same form and content, and government institutions are accustomed to apply the same way.

What has been done so far to solve the problem? Currently ministries, state and local administrative organizations’ activities are evaluated and judged only by KPI indicators at the output level, and government organization capacity and effectiveness of its actions (consequences and effects) cannot be assessed. In order to improve the organization's performance, evaluation and monitoring system, and operations, the state approved and followed “Common resolution to inspect and evaluate policy documents and administrative bodies’ actions” in 2020.

What solution are you proposing? 1.Create a system with indicators to evaluate performance of ministries, state and local administrative bodies with participation from civil society organizations by providing specific performance indicators for government organizations. 2.During the evaluation of policy implementation, such as evaluation of transparency and openness, ensure participation of civic society and civil society organizations.

What results do we want to achieve by implementing this commitment? 1.State organization activity evaluation will become more valid and participation of the civil society in the evaluation process will be ensured. 2.Government policy implementation results will be evaluated and participation of civic society will be guaranteed.
