In a few hours, PR specialist Tushig and I are leaving for Dornod, an aimag in eastern Mongolia, with some colleagues from the Vocational Education and Training Project for a few days. The project will be holding their first lottery for spots in the vocational school in Dornod. We're going to document the process and talk to some of the students who are/will be benefiting from the vocational training offered at this school. This will be my first trip out of UB so I'm looking forward to seeing a different part of this huge country. Some other things going on this week:
-Property Rights will be holding a regional workshop for land officers.
-The Peri-urban PIU (Project Implementation Unit) has two teams currently in the field outside of Darkhan, and they have so far visited roughly 150 land plots to determine their suitability for leasing. The PIU will also be holding a procurement workshop on Tuesday.
-The Energy and Environment Project is continuing their stove testing with the engineers from the Lawrence Berkeley Natl. Lab.
-MCC will be briefing the U.S. ambassador next week on the progress of all the projects in the past few months.
-And you may have heard...there's also a little event called the World Cup that's going on right now.
Will be back with updates on our trip to Dornod!
