Launched in 2006, PWYP Mongolia has focused its efforts on effective EITI implementation. The coalition also works on legislative processes around the natural resource framework and with communities at the subnational level. It has led campaigns to ensure transparency at all stages of mining production and increase public engagement and debate on natural resource issues. The coalition is currently campaigning for the adoption of an EITI law and a new Mineral Law.
