Mongolia: Herding community raises concerns over lack of progress in fulfilling commitments, incl. access to clean water, seven years after agreement with mining company

… Herders were initially hopeful after the agreement led to the fulfillment of many commitments. This included $1.2 million in compensation for lost livelihoods; training and scholarship programs for herders’ children; student scholarships; and a project to plant 10,000 trees. But the delays in implementing improved access to water and market, establishing a slaughter line, and traditional livelihood restoration have raised questions…
