    Description
    The SOCIEUX+ Action significantly strengthened the institutional, technical, and organizational capacities of Mongolia’s Occupational Safety and Health (OSH) Center at a key moment of legal and organizational reform. Through peer‑to‑peer expertise from five European countries and triangular cooperation with South Korea, the initiative delivered practical tools such as tailored training modules, updated third-party voluntary inspection methodologies, an improved roadmap for the registration of occupational accidents and diseases, and key lessons for establishing a rehabilitation center. These efforts directly enhanced the skills of 31 OSH specialists, trained nearly 400 enterprise representatives, and improved the Center’s ability to conduct third-party voluntary inspections, provide evidence‑based recommendations, and prepare for an expanded mandate. Beyond capacity building, the action generated immediate institutional impacts: Mongolia advanced draft regulations on workers’ health surveillance and on the reporting of occupational diseases; the OSH Center Clinic obtained permission to provide postgraduate medical education; and cooperation with Germany’s DGUV was strengthened with concrete follow‑up initiatives. Together, these results position the OSH Center to implement upcoming reforms, modernize its prevention and monitoring systems, and contribute to safer, healthier workplaces across Mongolia. Such support aims at bringing a capacity-building component to the OSH Center, complementary to the strengthening of its management tools and in view of the current legislative & institutional reforms, with the upcoming adoption of the new OSH Law (expected to be adopted in June 2025 by the Parliament); and with the new Improvement Plan of the OSH Center (as of April  2025). Both legislative and institutional changes will bring new challenges for the OSH Center, and an extended mandate and competencies. The present Action will thus aim at better equipping the OSH Center with the necessary capacity building, technical preparation and strengthening of its organizational tools to embrace such changes.

    Description
    The Ministry of Family, Labour and Social Protection of Mongolia is tasked with enhancing social protection systems and fostering inclusive economic growth. The Ministry formulates policies on employment, family welfare, labour market regulation, and vocational training, ensuring equal opportunities for all citizens. Mongolia’s labour market is characterized by significant challenges, including high unemployment rates (especially amongst the youth), a mismatch between skills and market demand, and an over-reliance on informal employment. The government has prioritized public employment programs to address these challenges, focusing on vocational training, job matching services, and support for marginalized groups, including women, persons with disabilities, and rural workers. Policies such as the revised Labour Law and the Decent Work Agenda (2023-2027) aim to improve labor standards and promote sustainable employment. The Action aimed at contributing to improve public employment systems of Mongolia by allowing for efficient & performance-based public employment systems and policy coherence with education and social welfare systems. It was achieved by providing comparative assessment of employment promotion in connection with the education system and with social security, vis-à-vis EU practices and models; and by formulating proposals & practical recommendations for revision of the Employment Promotion Act.

    Description
    The Action has mainly resulted in information sharing and methodological support. The General Authority for development of persons with disabilities intended to develop a strategic approach for serving persons with disabilities at its best. To this goal, SOCIEUX+ mobilized an extraordinary, diversified expertise from Finland, France, Italy, Portugal, Romania, and Sweden, for the very purpose of exposing the Partner to a varied set of models and practices. Individual capacity building of Partner’s staff has been part of this strategy. The last step of the cooperation has been to set up a full-fledged methodology on how to develop a medium-term action plan for persons with disabilities and their families, inclusive of potential actions and services inspired by EU best practices fostering social inclusion and independent living.
