Mathematica is conducting an evaluation of the Transition to High-Value Agriculture Project that was implemented under the Millennium Challenge Corporation’s Compact with Moldova. The evaluation comprises two complementary evaluation components: an impact evaluation and a performance evaluation. The impact evaluation, which uses a matched comparison group design, evaluates the effectiveness of the project in the areas of Moldova where key activities are concentrated. The performance evaluation provides complementary information from stakeholder interviews and other data to provide a complete understanding of project implementation, successes, and challenges. This report describes data that were collected in treatment and comparison Centralized Irrigation System (CIS) areas to provide a baseline for the impact evaluation. The Millennium Challenge Account-Moldova (MCA-Moldova) collected these data from farm operators in early 2014 through the 2013–2014 Moldova Farm Operator Survey.
