| Project Rationale and Linkage to Country/Regional Strategy | The proposed TA is in line with the Country Strategy and Program (CSP). Private sector participation in the development of Mongolia?s minerals sector will directly support the first strategy pillar of the CSP of stable broad-based economic growth and create greater income opportunities. Private sector initiatives and public?private partnerships in energy and infrastructure development also have the potential to improve the delivery of public services and support the second pillar of inclusive social development. The development of downstream export-oriented projects will support the diversification of the economy. The TA supports the strategic approach of the CSP of trying to target investment to the needs of the private sector while capitalizing on opportunities for private sector participation and public-private partnerships. It is also in line with the joint MOU signed between ADB, WB, EBRD and the Ministry of Finance of Mongolia. | ||||
