Developing National Transfer Account in Mongolia: Progress and Challenges
The National Transfer Account (NTA) initiative in Mongolia has made significant strides since joining the global network in 2016. Led by a dedicated research team, the project faces challenges such as data availability, resource limitations, and interlinking findings with policy formulation. To address these issues, future plans include establishing a new working group, enhancing capacity building, and producing a comprehensive national report. The journey of NTA in Mongolia reflects a commitment to utilizing demographic-economic analysis for informed policy-making.

National level NTA workshops and consultation conducted: i) NTA Data and Estimation at NSO in May, 2016 ii) Use of NTA estimation at the University in March, 2017, and iii) Use of NTA data on policy making at Ministry in October 2018
Issues and challenges Data availability to construct NTA is reasonably available except for a handful of disaggregated data; Limited resource and materials for further analysis; Lack of capacity (frequent turn-over) and cooperation from key Ministries and UNFPA Mongolia involvement (ownership); Lack of activities in raising awareness regarding NTA and its application among key stakeholders due to shortage of human resource and support from relevant ministries and UNFPA Mongolia; Insufficient interlinkage of NTA findings into to policy formulation.
Future plan Re-establish the Working group with a newly established Government and Advocacy using NTA for Policy making Carry out continuous dialogue with key NTA producers/users and institutions (Working group and Country team) Translate the NTA Manual into Mongolian (funding issue) Future analysis by time-series, cohort analysis, decomposition, gender, country comparison etc Continues Capacity Building (in country training by East West center if possible) Develop NTA course module/syllabus for MA and PhD students in Economics/Demography Produce NTA national report and Policy Brief in 2018 by research team
