Before and after the adoption of UNESCO s Convention for the Safeguarding of Intangible Cultural Heritage (2003), Mongolia actively accomodated UNESCO s policy for safeguarding intangible cultural heritage. In particular, Mongolia has established national safeguarding systems on intangible cultural heritage in line with international norms within the framework of international cooperation through UNESCO. This article describes the Korea-Mongolia joint cooperation project for the safeguarding of Mongolian intangible cultural heritage for 10 years from 2007 to 2018 under the UNESCO 2003 Convention framework and its achievements, focusing on the project of establishing the living human treasure system in Mongolia. The support of the Republic of Korea played a major role in establishing an institutional foundation for safeguarding intangible cultural heritage and strengthening its information capabilities in Mongolia. In particular, the ICHCAP has supported the project since 2007, when it was the preparatory organization before its official establishment in 2011. This paper first introduces the contents and achievements of the project of establishing the safeguarding system for intangible cultural heritage in Mongolia through ICHCAP from 2007 to 2010. In addition, it introduces analog data restoration and digitalization projects (2011-2012), intangible cultural heritage recording and video production projects (2013, 2015-2017) and photographs and video exhibitions (2018) to enhance awareness of intangible cultural heritage in Mongolia, which have been continuing in the framework of the Korea-Mongolia cooperation project.
