Summary: | The Mongolia Participatory Living
Standards Assessment 2000 (PLSA) was the first exercise of
its kind in Mongolia to use participatory learning and
action methods to broaden and deepen understanding of
poverty at the national level. The PLSA was conducted by
the National Statistical Office of Mongolia (NSO) with the
financial and technical support of the World Bank. It forms
one of the building blocks for the Government of
Mongolia's evolving Poverty Reduction Strategy - both
in its analysis and as part of the process of consultation
and is helping to contribute to the formulation of national
policies to help foster more widely shared economic growth.
The PLSA documented the perspectives and priorities of
community members throughout Mongolia using their own words.
The conclusions that emerged from the PLSA are helping to
re-orient the approach taken within the Government of
Mongolia's national anti-poverty program, with the
support of foreign donors and international financial institutions. |
