Regulatory Impact Assessment: from Design to Delivery	Zambia Cabinet Office;Martin Traynor, Regulatory Policy Committee (UK); Cesar Cordova, Regulatory Reform Expert	This workshop will examine the processes and tools of Regulatory Impact Assessment in the context of an end to end approach to regulatory design and delivery. This includes considering how regulations will be enforced and implemented at the earliest stages of policy design, how to engage businesses and other stakeholders in regulatory design and how to develop independent scrutiny of the policy and delivery cycle.
Regulatory delivery throughout the business cycle	Lars Grava, WBGBangladesh case study	Throughout the business life cycle, “regulatory delivery” is an integral part of government interactions with the private sector. Therefore it is essential first to understand what “regulatory delivery” means for government and businesses, then review the effectiveness and interplay of different regulatory tools – such as registration, inspections and permits – at different stages of the business life cycle.  The session will also identify new trends in regulatory delivery and the opportunities and risks in developing countries.
Inspection and Public Sector Reform: Links and Leverage	Peter Ladegaard, WBG Hayk Ayvazyan, Ministry of Economy, Armenia	This session will identify overlaps and linkages between inspection reform and “traditional” public sector reform and discuss how good timing, coordination and integration can leverage both reforms.
