The first component of the RIA project is the work of the executive branch of the government in developing public policy and new legislation. Within this stage of the process there are generally accepted standards for how public policy is developed. These include:

•The need for a rigorous analytical process by which evidence is gathered and options are developed as to how to address perceived public policy problems;

•The standardized use of Regulatory Impact Analysis (RIA) as a means of presenting the public policy problem and the evidence and options for addressing this problem;

•Ensuring all proposals is considered in light of international governance standards. For example as related to anti-corruption expertise of draft laws and regulations;

•Engaging citizens in an inclusive manner to reflect the perspectives of various stakeholders before proposals are endorsed.

The second component of the Project deals with the law-making process which starts when the executive has endorsed a legislative proposal and it has been introduced in the Parliament for consideration and review. During the first part of the process the parliament takes the lead in reviewing what the executive has developed and considers amendments and changes before determining whether or not to adopt the legislation. Key aspects of this component include:

•Broad and inclusive public consultations to ensure all interested citizens, civil society groups and other stakeholders have a chance to provide feedback on the content of the draft law. Such consultation is conducted by (i) parliamentary committees; and (ii) party factions and individual deputies and senators;

•Access to technical expertise that can provide the parliament with detailed knowledge of the topic that is being considered in a draft law.
