Legal and Regulatory Reform Project

point to bolded words to see picturesAbt Associates has been awarded a task order in Ukraine under the RAISE Plus contract to help remove the legal and regulatory impediments to the growth of competitive private agricultural enterprises and to provide support to the champions of market reform who have appeared after the recent Orange Revolution. Abt’s team will:

  • Promote policy and regulatory reforms in the agricultural economy that improve the efficient allocation and utilization of financial and human resources;
  • Promote reforms that increase the rate of growth of competitive private agricultural and supporting enterprises; and
  • Establish a critical mass of public and private representatives capable of working together to draft, enact and enforce appropriate policies, laws and regulations.

The main results are expected in the areas of privatization, subsidies and taxes, and restructuring regulators. It is also expected that the quantity and quality of public discussion of important agricultural policies, laws and regulations will increase significantly.
