2. Rationale behind RIA
Economic Reforms to improve the Business Enabling Environment (BEE) and Economy
Link between Regulatory Reform & Quality of BEE now better understood by Key Economic Stakeholders
Growing focus on Better Regulation initiatives that: Address both Qualitative & Quantitative aspects of regulation Establish simpler, appropriate and sustainable regulatory regimes Support high quality, low cost laws and policies that reduce regulatory costs,
risks and barriers to competition facing firms Protect essential public interests
RIA is tool for controlling the flow of NEW policies, legislation and regulations.

4. International Experience & Challenges
Need for Government policy endorsement and commitment
Policy consultation and dialogue frameworks essential
Policy inconsistency/competing priorities, and weak planning a challenge
Institutional and individual champions play a key role at all levels
Importance of understand RIA as a strong and flexible policy tool – Art not Science!
Need to convert support for RIA into the use of RIA in day to day policy-making
Need to improve the quality of RIAs over time – not immediately!
Post- reform institutional capacity and coordination challenges
Potential for Institutional Resistance
Benefits of wider reform effort and a growing economy are a bonus

4. Lessons Learnt
Anticipate the full impact of political environment constraints at the design stage
Understand country specific and often complex social, economic and political realities
Recognise importance of stakeholder input and ownership
Understand importance of goal based regulations and need for public education and awareness
Appreciate limitations of formal government policy endorsement
Need to align more closely the many ongoing reform initiatives
Keep focus on the underlying message: to improve flow – Art not Science!
