Request for Proposals: A Study of Herders' Behaviour towards Social and Health Insurance in Mongolia

Under the scope the SP-Herders project, the ILO will be carrying out a study to better understand HERDERS’ BEHAVIOURS TOWARDS SOCIAL AND HEALTH INSURANCE SCHEMES. Intended users of the findings of the study are government officials including social and health insurance agency staff, decision makers, and social partners, members of National Council for Social Insurance, Pastureland Users’ Groups, and broader stakeholders. It is also expected that the study will inform future initiatives of UN agencies and Mongolia’s development partners. The findings of the study are intended to contribute to decision makers and social partners’ improved understanding about behaviours and behavioural patterns of herders, so as to come up with better solutions to increase health and social insurance coverage of herders by promoting new ideas and innovative solutions with support of technologies where necessary. The research findings will inform the Government about possible gaps, bottlenecks and underutilized resources and opportunities with regard to social insurance law and procedures, and delivery of services.
