The DAP, as the focal organization for the APO Center of Excellence on Public-Sector Productivity, curates and transforms datasets to bring insights into the government profile of its member economies. This edition focuses on examining the public sector of Mongolia.

Based on insights from the OECD World Observatory on Subnational Government Finance and Investment, Mongolia’s public sector has seen significant reforms. Recent initiatives, such as the Governance and Decentralization Programme and the Local Development Fund, have empowered subnational governments to deepen fiscal decentralization and strengthen citizen participation. Moreover, Mongolia’s pioneering use of deliberative polling in public decision-making is truly impressive, underscoring its commitment to participatory governance and shaping the nation’s administrative and fiscal landscape.
