Mongolia is seeking to learn from Indonesia about the success of its national program for independent community empowerment before it embarks on the second stage of its own similar project. A Mongolian delegation recently held talks with officials of the Welfare Coordinating Ministry in Jakarta on the matter. Mongolia has a Sustainable Livelihood Program in all its 21 provinces, focused on improving the economy of poor families.  

SLP covers four activities, namely improving management of livestock, encouraging the community in planning and implementing its own development activities, increasing access of rural communities to funding resources, and capacity building to help the community in proper and efficient program implementation.
