| Summary: | This report is an output of the Better
Regulation for Growth Program between the Dutch Ministry of
Foreign Affairs, the UK Department for International
Development (DFID) and IC, the Investment Climate Advisory
Services of the World Bank Group. The reports identifies a
set of minimum requirements for a well-functioning Ria light
system that is tailored to the requirements of developing
countries. Embracing the overall objectives and relevance of
RIA, the paper explores the fundamental set of building
blocks and activities required to establish and maintain a
RIA light system, taking into account what it is considered
as good practice. The paper argues that the following five
basic criteria have to be in place for a functioning RIA
system, which is referred to as "RIA light": 1)
political commitment to establish and operate an effective
and self sustaining RIA process; 2) a unit or group of
regulatory reformers - preferably based in a central area of
government - which oversees, comments and reports on the
quality of regulatory proposals before decisions are made
about regulation; 3) clear and consistently applied criteria
and rules employed to screen regulatory proposals; 4) a
transparent regulatory policy development process, which
includes consultation with stakeholders; and 5) a capacity
building program, involving preparation of guidelines;
training of officials preparing RIA and facilitating the
required cultural changes, and establishing monitoring,
evaluation and reporting systems. |
