At the end of 2009, the joint project between UNESCO-UNEVOC and the Mongolian UNEVOC Centre to develop training materials and a training plan for young herders in Mongolia came to a successful close.
The project involved reviewing and updating existing learning materials and exploring approaches to ecological problems, health matters and farming issues faced by Mongolian herders. The project added value to the Mongolian government’s effort to establish “Herders Schools” through which important new knowledge, skills and understanding are transferred to the young generation of herders and into the national TVET system.
In the context of this project, three handbooks for training herders were developed and published with inputs from Mongolian experts in ecology, health, farming and herding at the end of 2009. The handbooks facilitate the acquisition of new skills, especially entrepreneurial skills and skills that support sustainability of the herders’ lifestyle. Through partnerships with the National Commission for UNESCO and the Mongolian Social Welfare and Labour Service Agencies, the books were distributed in 3 Western provinces of Mongolia.
The titles of the handbooks are:
 | Herders Health by Chimeddambiin Oyun and R. Erdenetuya, Ph.D |
 | Environmental Pollution by Sh. Purevsuren Ph.D |
 | Farmer Cultivator by J. Zolzaya |
