Small communities in Mongolia often suffer from isolation and poor water supply. The objective of this project is to develop and improve the water supply to the urban poor of Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia in a sustainable manner. The key indicators of improvement were the number of people served by each kiosk in the project areas, the percentage of kiosks in the project areas which were connected to the pipe network, and financial status of Water Supply and Sewage Authority of Ulaanbaatar (USUG).
