TA 4820: Implementation and Monitoring of Policy Reforms in Uzbekistan's Agriculture Sector
Financed by Poverty Reduction Cooperation Fund

Project Summary

This TA is piggy-backed to a loan (Land Improvement Project, or LIP), which will address the land degradation problem of Uzbekistan. The LIP will improve farmers' livelihood through higher yields, enhance land productivity and increase incomes. To expand and deepen the reform process beyond this ongoing project, the implementation and outcomes of the reforms in the LIP areas must be monitored carefully, evaluated and discussed among all key stakeholders – and that is what this TA is expected to do. This TA will:

• facilitate the implementation of the reform package agreed under the LIP;
• raise the awareness of local government and rural communities regarding the implemented reforms;
• monitor their impacts on Government revenues and expenditures, and on rural livelihood and poverty, in a transparent and participatory manner; and
• propose measures for improving reform effectiveness.
