Regulatory Impact Assessment (RIA), as required by the Republic Act 11032 or the Ease of Doing Business and Efficient Government Service Delivery Act of 2018, allows for the improvement of regulatory quality and coherence and, as a result, government efficiency, effectiveness, transparency, and accountability. Crucial to the success of large-scale, long term regulatory reform programs, it systematically identifies and assesses the perceived costs, benefits, and associated risks of regulations.
It is with this goal in mind that the MGR Program designed and developed trainings on RIA. RIA is a systematic approach that critically measures the expected positive and negative effects of proposed and existing regulations through a rigorous, well-defined, and evidence-based analysis. The MGR Program conducts the following RIA-related trainings.
