USAID/Azerbaijan has commissioned this assessment both as way of judging the effectiveness and impacts of the project, and also to provide guidance to USAID's successor project (Azerbaijan Competitiveness and Trade (ACT) project) which is starting in late 2010. Although there were some design and implementation problems that will be described below, and a difficult business environment overall, PSCEP did achieve at least two major successes: improvements in the dairy sector that have brought about substantial income gains for thousands of farmers, and re-establishment of the aquaculture industry in Azerbaijan after it had declined by 90% over the past twenty years.
