CENTRAL ASIA
(1995-1998)

In October 1995, LTC was awarded a three-year cooperative agreement with USAID/ENI (EPE-005-A-00-5128) to provide impartial oversight and strategic guidance to the privatization and market reform efforts of the Central Asian countries of the former Soviet Union. LTC created the Consortium for Technical Cooperation in Central Asia (TCCA) for the purposes of the project. This consortium (with LTC as the lead) included other units of UW-Madison (Law, Business, Education) and other academic institutions (including Northwestern University and the Universities of Kentucky, Arizona, New Mexico, and Maryland, plus the Rural Development Institute, the Monterey Institute of International Studies, and Metrica, Inc.). TCCA developed a team of advisors that provided the governments of the region with unbiased assessments of the current state of privatization and market reform and the appropriate future direction of such reform. USAID's short-term priorities were for oversight of new contracts for the implementation of commercial law reform. LTC and its consortium supplied commercial law specialists for this oversight role and also responded to USAID's requests for studies of management contracts as an alternative to privatization, issues in the development of securities markets, and the impact of macroeconomic changes and pension reform on the status of pensioners, all in Kazakstan.
