The action touches upon some topics which could be seen as socially divisive and/or politically sensitive such as, for instance, the fight against corruption/public accountability, strengthening independence of judiciary (which is closely linked to politics/vested interests). Some activities under this action will actually aim at raising awareness, giving a voice and empowering Mongolian citizens (working in partnership with civil society at large and media) on these sensitive issues. This will require as well carefully designed politically-sensitive approaches when designing, implementing and monitoring these activities to ensure that it does not create any social tensions. This action will therefore be instrumental to address several dimensions of fragility (societal and political in particular)."}, {"bbox": [96, 750, 335, 775], "category": "Section-header", "text": "## Disaster Risk Reduction"}, {"bbox": [96, 789, 233, 816], "category": "Text", "text": "Not applicable"}, {"bbox": [96, 833, 409, 858], "category": "Section-header", "text": "## Other considerations if relevant"}, {"bbox": [96, 872, 1133, 927], "category": "Text", "text": "The action will explore how to support the digitalisation agenda (digitalisation of courts, proceedings, justice system) attached to the judicial reforms."}, {"bbox": [85, 953, 423, 981], "category": "Section-header", "text": "## 3.4 Risks and Lessons Learnt"}, {"bbox": [82, 995, 1167, 1547], "category": "Table", "text": "<table><thead><tr><td>Category</td><td>Risks</td><td>Likelihood (High/ Medium/ Low)</td><td>Impact (High/ Medium/ Low)</td><td>Mitigating measures</td></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td>(1) External environment</td><td>Significant changes in the Mongolia political landscape (after the 2024 elections) on rule of law-related commitments</td><td>Medium</td><td>High</td><td>-Closely monitor political developments and use existing channels of dialogue (EU-Mongolia Joint Committee, Political Dialogue, Human Rights Dialogue) to advocate for upholding common values of democracy, rule of law and human rights.<br/>-Maintain regular and inclusive political dialogue with key executive, legislative and justice actors.<br/>-Encourage strong ownership of the action by the beneficiary public institutions.</td></tr></tbody></table>"}, {"bbox": [1026, 1681, 1142, 1705], "category": "Page-footer", "text": "Page 15 of 30"}]
