Luxembourg's development cooperation - Annual report 2018

Since 2001, Luxembourg has been actively involved in the health sector in Mongolia and is in its fourth project in this field. In 2018, Luxembourg signed an agreement with Mongolia to increase the budget for the telemedicine project in order to draw up plans for a new cardiovascular hospital. In order to prepare for the signature, the Mongolian Health Minister came to Luxembourg in August 2018 and met the Minister for Development Cooperation and Humanitarian Affairs. In parallel with the telemedicine project in the cardiovascular sector, Luxembourg’s development cooperation is also implementing a telemedicine project in mother and child health, in cooperation with UNFPA.

In addition, Luxembourg’s development cooperation is active in the finance sector via the capacity building and training project for young management staff of the Mongolian Central Bank and Mongolian commercial banks run by the House of Training, Luxembourg’s agency for financial technology transfer (HoT).
