3-12 November 2020, virtual workshop
From 3-12 November 2020, the OECD organised a virtual workshop on the implementation of regulatory impact analysis (RIA) for Peru’s water regulator, the National Superintendence of Sanitation Services, SUNASS. The aim of the workshop was to train SUNASS officials in the preparation and evaluation of RIA. RIA will be applied to SUNASS´ rule-making process, and thus increase the level of transparency, accountability, monitoring, compliance and quality of regulations for the benefit of government efficiency and competitiveness.
The workshop was part of the agreement signed last December 2019 between the OECD and SUNASS to implement RIA. RIA is the most important tool that the OECD promotes to improve the quality of regulation and to ensure that regulations are fit-for-purpose and meet their objectives. RIA enables officials to think critically about the objectives of public intervention, as well as to assess the benefits and costs of such interventions. As part of RIA, stakeholder engagement should be carried out before and during the process of developing regulatory proposals.
This workshop will enable SUNASS to issue better regulations and mitigate problems more effectively. The workshop emphasised the importance of public consultation, as it allows stakeholders to contribute to the identification of a problem, the causes and effects, and possible solutions.
The workshop was held as part of the OECD's Recommendations on Regulatory Policy to Peru through the report “Regulatory Policy in Peru: Assembling the Framework for Regulatory Quality”, which recommends that Peru's regulatory agencies should have their own RIA system for the development and review of their regulation.
