WHY AN ONLINE MINING MAP?

Growing interest in open government data and how to use it for transparency

Mining sector is of high interest, but it’s technical, and data can be hard to come by

Policy makers and Civil society groups need a place to access and explore data

GOALS OF MONGOLIA’S MINING MAP

See how government data can be made more open and usable

Provide a tool for journalists, CSOs, decision-makers to understand sector
