Abstract
| |
| The Economic Growth Support and Poverty Reduction Strategy (EGSPRS) is the first full poverty reduction strategy paper (PRSP) prepared by the Government of Mongolia. The EGSPRS builds on the strategy articulated in the interim report (I-PRSP) presented to the Boards of the International Development Association (IDA) and the International Monetary Fund (IMF) in September 2001, and it provides an adequate framework for implementing the government's development agenda. The EGSPRS draws on a broad range of quantitative and qualitative data sources to present a comprehensive and credible profile of poverty and the discussion of lessons from past government efforts to reduce poverty offers useful insights. The data support the view that poverty in Mongolia is multi-dimensional and characterized by high levels of vulnerability. There are several weaknesses and challenges to be addressed with respect to the poverty diagnosis. The causal analysis of the processes of impoverishment for different social groups during the economic transition period is somewhat fragmented. The analysis of the distributional impact of energy pricing, pension and civil service reforms is planned in the next 18 months, with the World Bank and USAID providing support. Going forward, the Government is encouraged to: (i) update the poverty estimates and profile using the Household Income and Expenditure Survey (HIES) 2002 and other available data (the Bank plans to assist the government in undertaking this poverty analysis) and use the results in its Progress Report; (ii) formulate a poverty monitoring plan that ensures comparability of the estimates over time and provides periodic updates; and (iii) provide open access to the unit-record household survey data so as to encourage analytical work to better understand the determinants of poverty and to assess policy options to improve living conditions for the poor. |
