On 7 September, ILC Asia members exchanged information with Mongolian government officials and civil society organizations on pastoral issues to be included in the new draft law to be debated in the autumn session of the Parliament
The ILC Asia Knowledge Exchange Day took place on 7 September 2013. In the morning half, discussions took place between ILC Asia members and representatives from the Government of Mongolia and civil society organizations on how to address the issue of collective management of pastoral land, especially taking into consideration on how customary practices of traditional nomadic pastoralists can be made into law. This topic will be debated in the 2013 autumn session of the Parliament as part of a larger discussion on the draft Land Law. A key point emphasized by ILC members during this discussion was that civil society, particularly people’s organizations and groups needs to be continuously engaged in the formulation and implementation process in order to determine that the proposed law is actually benefitting the people it proposes to serve.
