The General Agency for Specialized Investigation (GASI) conducts training seminars for 540 employers and employees in close partnership with the ILO social partners in the framework of the "SDG-Aligned Budgeting to Transform Employment in Mongolia" project, funded by the European Union.

These seminars targeted employers and workers from the Strategic Compliance Planning (SCP) priority sectors of mining, construction, textile, and energy, with different sectors represented in each location. A total of 540 people participated, 174 of whom were women.

Through the training, employers and worker representatives deepened their understanding of important laws, regulations, procedures, and methods, and legal aspects relevant to the issues that should be taken into account in order to meet occupational safety and health requirements. Seminars covered topics such as the introduction of the revised Law on Labour, revised rules and regulations in connection with the law reform, labour safety and hygiene requirements, and the implementation of labor and social insurance laws. The goal of the training was to improve legal knowledge and understanding among employers and employees, and to promote compliance with labor laws and regulations.
