Description
From the reviews of Regulatory Impact Assessment (RIA) submissions to Cabinet, a number of gaps were identified. The gaps included; poor problem identification, poor options analysis and poor structuring of some reports which had resulted into selection of inefficient, ineffective and irrelevant options to address citizens�� concerns. The gaps were attributed to the inadequate capacity of the Policy Analyst Cadre. Resultantly, a refresher training was organized for the Policy Analyst Cadre in carrying out RIA so that their capacity could be enhanced.
