Examples of Projects

  • Impact Evaluation of Water-to-Market Activities, Irrigation Infrastructure, and Roads in Armenia. Mathematica designed and implemented an evaluation of several agriculture related initiatives led by the Millennium Challenge Corporation in Armenia to determine their effectiveness in improving the living conditions of rural households. The initiatives involved rehabilitating irrigation infrastructure and rural roads and included a training for farmers and providing them with access to credit to enable them to make good use of improved irrigation and other related water-to-market activities.

  • Impact Evaluation Services for Access to Agricultural Finance, Farmer Training, and Irrigation Compact Activities in Moldova. The Millennium Challenge Corporation’s Compact with the Republic of Moldova includes several initiatives designed to combat poverty and to stimulate economic growth, especially in rural areas. Mathematica's evaluation focuses on three compact activities: access to agricultural finance, irrigation sector reform and centralized irrigation systems rehabilitation, and the farmer training component of the Growing High-Value Agriculture Sales or Agricultural Competitiveness and Enterprise Development activity.
