E-Mongolia Initiative

Since 2021, Mongolia implemented its first-ever e-government services, known as E-Mongolia. Early implementation of E-Mongolia coincided with the spread of COVID-19, which forced Mongolian policymakers to digitalize government services. In two years, Mongolia’s digital governance platform has expanded significantly. According to Bolor Lkhaajav (2022) as of March 2022, E-Mongolia had digitalized 630 public services, enrolled 2 million users, and successfully delivered over 8.5 million services. Besides basic services like ID cards, business registration and licenses, digital services have also extended to the banking system, processing payments online versus in-person. The implementation of E-Mongolia allowed government agencies to reduce the number of front-end offices and service operators. By introducing feedback systems, E-Mongolia has become an institutional tool that bridges government service and the private sector – considering their clientele are the same users.
