Led by party Chairman N.Altankhuyag, the DP team responsible for the Mongol Citizen 2020 project worked over the weekend in Govisumber aimag, which has three soums and a population of 13,000. It found that the aimag has no industry and few jobs, and the only way many people there can make some money is to sell metal parts from former Russian military unit buildings and military cables.

The aimag administration has no development plan and rests its hopes on using the MNT20 billion annual income from brown coal mining at Shivee-Ovoo. Bayanmunkh, the aimag Governor, has been in power for 11 years, despite allegations of large scale electoral irregularities, and people see him more as a king than a democratic Governor.

Spreading desertification is a major concern, affecting access to clean water and other forms of pollution, resulting in spread of disease.
