Ulaanbaatar,
April 21, 2026 /MONTSAME/. Chairman of the State Great Khural Byambatsogt Sandag
met with the Chairperson and members of the Civil Service Council on April 20,
2026.
At
the beginning of the meeting, Civil Service Council Chairperson Tsedevsuren Lhagva.
gave a detailed briefing on the council’s mandate, structure, and operations.
She
also highlighted major upgrades to the integrated electronic registry system
for civil servants, one of the council’s core functions. Since 2025, every
civil servant has been able to access the unified database, review their
digital personnel file, and verify the accuracy of related information.
According
to the 2025 national registry, 213,611 civil servants are employed at 4,330
state institutions, accounting for 14.5 percent of Mongolia’s labor force and
6.0 percent of the total population. However, the number of civil servants
declined by 5.9 percent compared with 2024.
Tsedevsuren
noted that since the Civil Service Law came into force in 2019, it has been
amended 28 times, with most changes related to job classification, grades, and
salaries. She
said there is a need to streamline those issues, modernize the content and
format of training and recruitment examinations, and legislate standards for
psychological health and workplace safety.
During
the meeting, Speaker Byambatsogt said public trust in government has weakened
in recent years and linked this to the ethics, attitudes, skills, education,
and experience of public officials. He
said Parliament, the Government, and the Civil Service Council should give
special attention to the issue, conduct a realistic assessment, and undertake
comprehensive policy reform of Mongolia’s civil service system.
The speaker
also instructed the council to accelerate reforms to make productivity and
performance evaluations more transparent, create a legal framework to raise
salaries and incentives in line with performance, strengthen social guarantees
for civil servants, and prepare proposals for policy amendments to the Civil
Service Law.
