Total USAID assistance provided from 1991 through 2010 has exceeded $200 million, all of it in grant form. The program is managed by a nine-person USAID Mission based at the American Embassy in Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia.

The U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) plays a lead role in providing bilateral American assistance to Mongolia. The program emphasizes two main themes: Increased Opportunities for Inclusive Growth; and More Effective and Accountable Governance.

Every USAID-funded project in Mongolia is organized around at least one of these two mutually re-enforcing goals.
