Project Introduction
Ulaanbaatar Clean Air Project was successfully implemented from 2012 to 2019 with a soft loan from the World Bank.

B. Patriculate Matter Mitigation in Central Ulaanbaatar
C. Public Awareness Raising, Project Management and Monitoring and Evaluation
D. Electricity for Heating in Targeted Areas
