description:

Regulatory and Legal Reform: on the more general business environment reform activities, key lessons include the value the LOCA and VCD approaches have had in facilitating stakeholders to identify priority reform areas. The 'quick win' reforms achieved through the project have been very important in terms of both their impact and that they have built momentum and commitment. However, as the stakeholders, including the MSE Forums, start trying to address tougher constraints in the business environment, which require systemic changes (reform of regulations, policies and practices at the district, province and national level), it is likely that the advocacy process will need to be more rigorous and may require additional research and analysis to support arguments for reform. This is recognized by many of the stakeholders who expressed appreciation for a recent advocacy course provided through the project, and wished that they had been able to benefit from it earlier.
