Mongolia has been actively working towards achieving the SDGs. It has made significant steps towards the achievement of the 2030 Agenda since its adoption. In 2016, the Mongolian Parliament approved Mongolia's Sustainable Development Vision 2030 (SDV), including some SDG goals and targets. In May 2020, the Parliament revised the Law on Development Policy, Planning and its Management and improved the legal environment. In line with the new legal environment, the Parliament approved Vision 2050 as a new long-term, strategic policy document, replacing the SDV. Under the umbrella of Vision 2050, the Five-Year Development Guidelines for 2021–2025, the Government Action Programme for 2020–2024 and its implementation plan were also subsequently prepared and approved.

This assessment aims to conduct a mapping of SDG targets and indicators that are aligned with these newly approved three national development plans and policies and make policy recommendations for the improvement of the alignment of SDGs with the mid-term development programmes and policies. The assessment shows that the SDG principles and approaches are overall reflected in these policy documents; however, the level of alignment of the SDG indicators is not sufficient.
