“
Even though it was very cold inside the
house in the past winters, we did not insulate it due to limited financial and
human resources. As a result of learning [from the Simple Solution Campaign] I
can now insulate my own house with simple and affordable solutions,” said Ankhbayar
B., a resident of the 16
th Khoroo of Sukhbaatar District.
The Simple Solutions Campaign launched in Sukhbaatar and Songinokhairkhan Districts
three months ago with a call to insulate houses using materials readily
available. I didn t know that heat loss would be
significantly reduced just by insulating our doors and windows,”
explained Ankhbayar B.

Ulaanbaatar /MONTSAME/ The construction sector is
dominated by men, not only in Mongolia but also in countries throughout the
world. Even in an advanced economy like the US, women consist of less than 1% of construction
workers on the jobsite.
Here at the EU Funded Switch Off Air Pollution Project (SOAP), we’re
working to redefine the role of women in the construction sector by working
with jobsite team leaders, locally known as brigade leaders, to break outdated
