Course Learning Objectives
RIA is a tool to methodically assess the costs and benefits of proposed and existing regulations. Regulatory Impact Analysis (RIA) was first introduced as a economic governance tool in the 1980s in the US and was quickly adapted throughout Europe in the 1990s. Since the OECD landmark publication promoting RIA, governments globally have sought to introduce RIA, increasingly in emerging markets, to improve the business environment and encourage entrepreneurship, investment, and savings.

According to the OECD some of the most important "Best Practices" for maximizing the benefits of RIA include: training regulatory staff; developing appropriate institutional frameworks and systematic methods and tools; involving extensive public involvement/stakeholder consultation; integrating RIA with policy making processes; and applying RIA to new and existing regulations that affect business growth.

IP3's course titled Regulatory Impact Analysis (RIA): Tools for Enhancing the Business Environment is designed to assist government policy makers and regulators, as well as the business community design, screen, and implement effective RIAs. Through practical, process-oriented sessions on how to conduct RIAs, case studies of actual RIAs including context and results, site visits to implementing agencies; and action planning, participants inthis program will learn how to form the legal/policy framework for RIAs and conduct RIAs in their own countries and organizations.
