The Mongolian government, with the financial help of UNESCO and the Danish International Development Assistance (DANIDA), utilized non-formal distance education tools such as the radio, printed materials, and visiting teachers in its Gobi Women’s project, which took place from 1992 to 1997, to reach out to marginalized and vulnerable Gobi women and enable them to acquire skills and practices needed for their survival during economic and political transition. This tactic provided needed opportunities that without them, would have led to the desperation and downfall of the Gobi women, given the major political and social transition occurring in the country.
