Regulatory Reform Core Group to be launched today
FE Report | Monday, 11 August 2008
The International Finance Corporation Bangladesh Investment Climate Fund (IFC BICF) will launch today (Monday) its Regulatory Reform Core Group at an event entitled 'Stimulating Private Sector Development Reforms for Economic Empowerment of Bangladesh.'
Syed Manzur Elahi, former adviser to the caretaker government and Member, Regulatory Reforms Commission, will inaugurate the two-day programme at Sonargaon hotel at 10 am, said a press release.
The Regulatory Reforms Core Group aims to expose mid-level officials from the government's private sector-related agencies, as well as private sector representatives, to an intensive, hands-on experiential learning focused on encouraging individuals to identify and implement regulatory reforms within their own agencies.
The first Private Sector Development (PSD) Core Group, formed in 2005, was similarly exposed to the best practices of a wide range of PSD issues.
That programme was critical in breaking down the stereotypical ideas between agencies and the public and private sectors. Members of the Core Group include representatives from over 30 government agencies and 9 private sector chambers.
The driving mechanism of the Regulatory Reform Core Group programme is the working groups that will assist in the implementation of the broad Regulatory Reform objectives of the Government of Bangladesh.
To support and facilitate the work of the Regulatory Reforms, the Core Group members will focus on two areas: administrative barrier reviews (ABR) and regulatory impact assessments (RIA).
The Regulatory Reforms Commission (RRC) is a 17-member body established by the Government of Bangladesh, and chaired by former adviser and cabinet secretary Dr. Akbar Ali Khan.
