In December 2019 the Mongol Ecology Center (MEC) started implementation of the ‘Youth Sustainability Corps’ (YSC) program, funded by European Union. The aim was to empower young people (15-22 years old) by educating them about their rights as citizens, and developing their skills to GEOGRAPHICAL SCOPE monitor, collaborate, and advocate for the use of best practices to ensure the effective stewardship of Mongolia’s natural and cultural resources.
The baseline study of the program was started by IRIM in November 2020. The study was to identify the base level of each of the YSC’s sub-objectives and identify training needs for students at targeted schools.
The study participants included public school students, teachers, and administration staff in Khovd, Umnugobi and Ulaanbaatar; the main target areas, and local specialists working in the state-protected areas. The data analysis was carried out after the information from 60 interviews and 373 questionnaires had been put together.
