Tell us a bit about your background?
I was born in Jargalant village of Arkhangai province in
Mongolia. I studied hydrology at Odessa State Hydro-meteorological University in Ukraine. Before joining UNICEF,
I have worked at Mongolian Academy of Science,
World Wildlife Fund for Nature and UN Development Programme as researcher and program manager. My area of
expertise is Integrated River Basin Management and it has been very applicable
to UNICEF’s work on improving access to and quality of water. For example, we
recently supported adoption of “Water Safety Plan” in our program areas to help
ensure water is safe for children to drink. This also involved development of
guidelines on water, sanitation and hygiene
as well.
