initiative of President Ts.Elbegdorj has been nominated for the 2011 Reinhard

Bertelsmann Foundation of Germany. The Prize, instituted in 1988, is awarded
annually and is worth €150,000. The 2011 award will go to a governmental
institution – possibly in cooperation with a non-governmental actor – which has
initiated successful projects (or programs) to vitalize democracy, to integrate
underrepresented citizens and to establish new forms of democratic
problem-solving capacities through participation.

The Citizen’s Chamber has organized 32 public discussions on national issues,
with a total participation of some 2,000 people. It has also 367 opinions
through E-mail, letters, phone and fax.
