Abstract
This report presents MDG-inspired geographical targeting indicators for each of the five regions, 21 aimags, the Capital and 340 soums found in Mongolia. The monetary poverty indicators are based on the latest Census-based poverty map while the employment, education and infrastructure indicators were computed directly from the latest Census database. Taken together, all those results form an unique database that should help policy-makers as well as planners identifying the needier areas. Having such multi-dimensional geographical database focusing on the many aspects of poverty should help tailoring interventions more efficiently and at a lower cost.
