Improving the animal identification and registration system has multiple benefits for Mongolia such as improving animal quality and gene pool, increasing productivity, expanding market access through the traceability systems, enhancing animal health, and decreasing animal theft. Implementing AIRS, however, is a long-term investment that requires buy-in from the public and private sectors. In Mongolia, good collaboration across central government departments, sub-national stakeholders and development partners was the key to connect and learn from related work, promote coherence and link up various information systems
