2. Respondents burden 1. Comprehensive questionnaire 2. Takes more time

Conclusion
There is no regular and institutionalized data system to monitor and evaluate social protection services The existing monitoring and evaluation system in Mongolia is not fully capturing social protection services The suggestion arises to set up integrated and regular institutional system on social protection be it at MSWL or at NSO Building the capacity of estimating and disseminating of social protection indicators Improving use of social protection indicators for decision makers can help to institutionalization and strengthening monitoring and evaluation of social protection services
