Millennium Challenge Compact

Mongolia signed the compact on July

compact has been posted at: https://

Millennium Challenge Corporation.
Summary of the Mongolia Compact
Overview of MCC Mongolia Compact
MCC’s five-year, $350 million
Millennium Challenge Compact with
the Government of Mongolia (the
‘‘Government’’) aims to reduce poverty
through economic growth by assisting
the Government in addressing one of the
country’s most binding constraints to
economic growth: Inadequate access to
water and sanitation in productive
sectors and poor communities. The
Compact will address this constraint
through a single project that aims to
increase the water supply to the capital
city, Ulaanbaatar.
The Compact will focus on addressing
problems within the water sector in
Ulaanbaatar, specifically the imminent
shortage of water that threatens
Ulaanbaatar’s economy and that could
begin to reduce the quality of life of its
residents as early as 2019. The city
currently draws its annual supply of 77
million cubic meters of drinking water
from groundwater aquifers along the
upper reaches of the Tuul River, which
flows through the city. Studies
supported by MCC indicate that any
additional extraction of the groundwater
aquifers upstream will diminish river
flow and cause portions of the river in
this area to run dry, thus making the
upper reaches of the river unavailable
for the development of future water
supplies. The groundwater aquifers
located along the reaches of the Tuul
River downstream from the city must
therefore support the city’s future needs.
However, poorly treated discharge from
the city’s outdated and overloaded
central wastewater treatment plant has
contaminated the Tuul River as it flows
downstream from the city, thereby
introducing potentially harmful
contaminants into these downstream
aquifers. The pollution of these aquifers
at a time of rapid growth in the demand
for water only makes the imminent
water crisis more acute.
Project Summary
The Compact will address the
constraint of long-term water supply to

Ulaanbaatar through a Water Supply
Project, the objective of which is to meet
the projected demand for water in
Ulaanbaatar for residential consumers
and commercial and industrial users
over the medium term in ways that are
economically and environmentally
sustainable. The Water Supply Project is
composed of three activities:
• Downstream Wells Activity: This
activity involves expansion of the city’s
bulk water supply through the
construction of (i) approximately 52
new wells in two downstream wellfields
to supply up to 50 million cubic meters
of groundwater per year, (ii) associated
pipelines, transmission lines, and
pumps to convey the water, (iii) an
advanced water treatment plant to
produce water that meets drinking
standards, and (iv) storage facilities, a
pumping station and a conveyance
pipeline to transport finished drinking
water into the existing municipal water
network of Ulaanbaatar. The activity
includes advanced technology for
purification of the water to ensure that
water supplied to the city is safe and
potable.
• Wastewater Recycling Activity: This
activity involves a significant reduction
in the demand for fresh water through
the construction of (i) a wastewater
recycling plant designed to treat a
portion of the effluent from the central
wastewater treatment plant, (ii)
pumping stations and associated
pipelines to convey the recycled water
to water storage facilities near two large
combined heating and power plants,
and (iii) internal piping, storage
facilities and control systems to
facilitate the use of recycled wastewater
for certain processes within these
combined heating and power plants,
which are currently the city’s largest
consumers of freshwater. This activity
will substitute recycled water for at least
14 million cubic meters of freshwater
that the combined heating and power
plants consume each year, with an
expectation that the volume will
increase over time. The wastewater
recycling plant will be the first of its
kind in Mongolia, helping to pave the
path for efficient and responsible
management of the scarce water
resources of Ulaanbaatar.
• Water Sector Sustainability
Activity: This activity is designed to
enhance the long-term sustainability of
water supplies to the capital city
through critical policy, legal, regulatory
and institutional changes, with a
particular emphasis on achieving full
cost recovery and making improvements
in operations and maintenance. The
Water Sector Sustainability Activity
includes five sub-activities, which will
