Civil Service Council
Central civil service authority
Mongolia's central civil service authority under the Law on Civil Service. It is an independent body that reports to the State Great Khural, sets unified standards for civil servants nationwide, oversees merit-based selection and ethics guidance, conducts human resource audits, and maintains the integrated register of civil servants (Law on Civil Service, Articles 65-66; Civil Service Council, gov.mn).
The Council began work after the first Law on Civil Service was adopted on 30 December 1994 and took effect on 1 June 1995. It operated as the Civil Service Administration Council from 1995 to 2002, when it was restructured and renamed the Civil Service Council (Civil Service Council history, gov.mn). The revised Law on Civil Service adopted in December 2017 took effect in January 2019 and strengthened the merit and career-based framework (UNDP, Medium-Term Civil Service Reform Strategy draft, 13 June 2019).
