Young people from Kalmykia, Tuva, Buryatia, Altai and Southern Mongolia received the “World Mongol” scholarship by Elbegdorj Institute.

Elbegdorj Institute (EBI) is an independent, non-profit center that aims to strengthen and protect democratic values in Mongolia. The Institute was founded in 2008 by former President of Mongolia Ts.Elbegdorj.

“We strive to build a strong and vibrant democracy by supporting the development of democratic institutions, practices and citizen participation. To achieve our mission, we initiate projects aimed at public policy research, training and capacity building of civil society organizations, as well as advocacy efforts,” the institute’s official website writes.
