Mongolian Development Center, Mongolia
Mongolian Development Center Mission
The Mongolian Development Center (MDC) was founded as a private initiative in 1993 with permission from the Mongolian Ministry of Education. In June 1998, the MDC was registered with the Ministry of Justice in Mongolia as a national non-governmental organization. Since then, the MDC has developed numerous interlinking projects and programs funded by a variety of organizations including OSED, the World Bank, UNICEF, AusAid, and the British, Dutch, German, Australian and Luxembourg Embassies in Mongolia and Beijing.
The Mongolian Development Center (MDC) is dedicated to the empowerment of individuals, communities and institutions through education and training to learn about and support the process of building a progressive and sustainable society, prosperous in the material, social, intellectual and spiritual aspects of life. Projects of the Mongolian Development Center include Community Gardening, Integral Human Development, Kindergarten Curriculum and Early Childhood Development, and Community Banking, a part of the Community Development Program. All MDC programs focus on education and the development of community capacity. Participation increases monthly as the popularity of the programs becomes more widespread.
In 2003, the Mongolian Development Center celebrated its 10th year anniversary. In its first 10 years, MDC had trained 16 facilitators for the Social Enterprise Program; the Integral Human Development Project received a World Bank small grant; and in the same period, the Early Childhood Project completed its first three-year cycle and a new cycle was initiated. The MDC participated in a series of World Bank workshops and won the Development Marketplace Award for its establishment of the Mongolian Youth Development Center.
