STTA for Construction Permitting Reform in Mongolia
The Government of Mongolia (GOM) recently decided to draft new legal framework - a new construction law - considering international best practice and the WB DB Dealing with Construction Permits indicator. The fast-track package of changes (which should be understood in this document as the Cabinet resolution for a regulation on permit issuance to begin and continue construction activities and issuance of occupancy certificates) also planned to be in+D225troduced to regulations for transitional period until the new law on construction is elaborated. But the timing for such a complex reform was not estimated properly. In addition, working process and progress is also inefficient at the working group (WG) level as the WG consists from members from different agencies. The purpose of this document is to highlight the findings during the assignment and provide recommendations to BPI for providing effective technical assistance to the GOM in the reform process.
