The International Mining for Development Centre (IM4DC) commissioned Byambajav Dalaibuyan (Postdoctoral Research Fellow, CSRM) to carry out research to investigate the potential for the application of Sirolli Institute's Enterprise Facilitation methods in mining zones and later extension into non-mining zones in Mongolia. The research activity included documenting the discussions between the Sirolli Institute and local partners, undertaking brief background research into the application of other local content initiatives previously tried and currently underway, and analysing the potential for the deployment of such an approach in Mongolia.
