The platform serves as a key gateway for the formalization of informal businesses and workers. It streamlines business registration processes, reduces administrative burdens and improves access to public services through both web and mobile applications. The upgraded platform provides access to 321 licensing services and 1,286 public services, including digital services for 11 types of employment contracts, such as hourly work, domestic work, work-from-home arrangements and other forms of employment provided for under the Labour Law of Mongolia.

The launch event was opened by Prime Minister N.Uchral, followed by remarks from Ch.Nomin, Minister for Digital Development, Innovation and Communications.

Speaking at the launch, Prime Minister N.Uchral highlighted the importance of digital transformation in improving governance, reducing administrative burdens, and fostering a more transparent and business-friendly environment.

Jaap van Hierden, United Nations Resident Coordinator in Mongolia, emphasized the role of digital innovation in supporting formalization and improving access to decent work.

"One of the important features of the upgraded platform is the integration of new digital services that support employment formalization, including the digitization of employment contracts. By enabling more businesses and workers to access formal employment arrangements through digital channels, the platform can help strengthen compliance, expand access to social protection, and support a more inclusive and productive labour market," said Mr Jaap van Hierden.

The platform was enhanced with support from the International Labour Organization (ILO) as part of ongoing efforts to promote e-formalization and expand access to services for workers and enterprises in Mongolia. By simplifying administrative procedures and improving access to digital services, the platform contributes to facilitating the transition from informality to formality and promoting decent work.
