The resilience capacity building of SMEs-which account for over 98 percent of businesses in Mongolia, is an important but neglected aspect of community resilience building, as is evidenced by SME surveys consistently showing only a small fraction of SMEs being aware of simple DDR tools such as risk assessments and business continuity planning.
