How to adopt RIA in Taiwan’s policy making---A lesson from Uganda • Presented by group member: Azlan, Victor, Zinhle, Nomfundo, Khetsiwe and James
What has Uganda done? PEAP : Uganda is one of the few countries who first developed a Poverty Eradication Action Plan Actions planned under five pillars: • Economic management • Enhancing production, competitiveness and incomes • Security, conflict resolution and disaster management • Good governance • Human development
Do right things V.S. Do things right • Do right things: • Is PEAP a right things to do? • Since 2000,Word Bank and IMF have asked their developing-country clients to prepare Poverty Reduction Strategy Papers(PRSPs), partly inspired by the example the Uganda’s first PEAP.
Do right things V.S. Do things right • Do things right • What is RIA? • A better way for policy making decision, to do things right
Lessons from Uganda to help Taiwan to do thing right • Uganda failed to implement RIA well • Does Taiwan has the same problem if we adopt RIA? What Taiwan can do to avoid Uganda’s mistake?
Government policy and commitment • Uganda: no ongoing commitment • Taiwan: strong governance Institution:RDEC (Research,Development and Evaluaiton Commission )
Policy consultation and dialogue frameworks • Uganda: inadequate consultation and dialogue infrastructure has been a major handicap • Taiwan: consultation mechanism
Competing policy priorities, policy inconsistency and weak planning • Uganda: Competing reform priorities , cause competition for limited resource, capacities and staff time • Taiwan: • Sectionalism: • policy inconsistency: the case of Bayer investment, nuclear power plant
Institutional champions • Uganda: significantly depended on a limited number of key institutional champions, other ministries just sit back • Taiwan: has the trend to delimit responsibility ???????????
Converting support for RIA into the use of RIA in day to day policy-making • Uganda: challenge in Uganda is to convert this initial support and interest in RIA consistently • Taiwan: similar methodology: design-implement-monitor
Conclusion • The more we do thing right, the more we do right thing
