This report argues that the EAC institutions will be successful in implementing the common market only if they safeguard the quality of regulatory practices. This is a highly pragmatic and operational agenda. Quality principles can be applied only if they are defined and institutionalized into the machinery of policy making. The idea is that, just as fiscal management can increase social welfare by better allocating resources, so can regulatory governance.en-USCC BY-NC-ND 3.0 IGOADMINISTRATIVE PROCEDUREBORDER CONTROLSBORDER POSTBUSINESS ENVIRONMENTCABINET MINISTERCAPACITY BUILDINGCHECKSCOMMERCECOMMERCIAL LAWSCOMMON MARKETCOMMON MARKETSCOMMUNITY INVESTMENTCOMPETITIVE PRESSURESCOMPETITIVENESSCONSULTATION POLICYCONSULTATION PROCESSCONSULTING STAKEHOLDERSCONSUMER BENEFITSCONSUMER CHOICECONSUMER DEMANDSCONSUMER PROTECTIONCONVERGENCECOPYRIGHT CLEARANCECOPYRIGHT CLEARANCE CENTERCOST OF CAPITALCOUNCIL REGULATIONSCOUNTRY TO COUNTRYCREDIBILITYCUSTOMSCUSTOMS UNIONDEMOCRACYDISSEMINATION OF INFORMATIONDRAFT LEGISLATIONDRAFT REGULATIONSDYNAMIC EFFECTSECONOMIC BENEFITSECONOMIC COMMUNITYECONOMIC INTEGRATIONECONOMIC TERMSECONOMIES OF SCALEEXTERNAL TARIFFEXTERNAL TARIFFSFAIRFINANCIAL INCENTIVEFINANCIAL MARKETSFINANCIAL TRANSFERSFOREIGN AFFAIRSFORM OF REGULATIONFREE TRADEFREE TRADE AGREEMENTFREE TRADE AREAGOVERNMENT EFFICIENCYHARMONIZATIONHARMONIZING REGULATIONSHOUSEHOLD INCOMEIMPACT ANALYSISINSTITUTIONAL CAPACITIESINSTITUTIONAL DEVELOPMENTINSTRUMENTINTEREST GROUPSINTERNAL MARKETINTERNATIONAL STANDARDSINVESTMENT CLIMATEINVESTMENT POLICYINVESTMENT REGIMEJUDICIAL SYSTEMJURISDICTIONJURISDICTIONSLABOR COSTSLEGAL ACTIONLEGAL AUTHORITIESLEGAL COUNSELLEGAL DRAFTINGLEGAL FRAMEWORKLEGAL INSTRUMENTSLEGAL REQUIREMENTLEGAL SYSTEMLEGAL TEXTLEGISLATIONLEGISLATIVE ASSEMBLYLEGISLATIVE AUTHORITYLEVIESLOCAL MARKETLONG-TERM INVESTMENTSMANAGEMENT OVERSIGHTMARKET COMPETITIONMARKET ENTRYMARKET INFRASTRUCTUREMARKET REFORMMARKET REFORMSMEMBER STATEMEMBER STATESMINISTERMINISTERSMONETARY UNIONMUTUAL RECOGNITIONNATIONAL BORDERSNATIONAL LAWSNATIONAL POLICIESNATIONAL SOVEREIGNTYNON-TARIFF BARRIERSNONTARIFF BARRIERSOUTPUTOUTPUTSPEER PRESSUREPOLICY DEVELOPMENTPOLITICAL ECONOMYPOLITICAL INTEGRATIONPRIVATE INTERESTSPRIVATE SECTORPROFESSIONAL STAFFPUBLIC ADMINISTRATIONPUBLIC COMMITMENTPUBLIC CONSULTATIONPUBLIC HEARINGSPUBLIC REGISTRYPUBLIC SECTORQUALITY REGULATIONRED TAPEREDUCING POVERTYREFORM PROGRAMREFORM PROGRAMSREFORM SCENARIOREGIONAL ARRANGEMENTSREGIONAL INITIATIVESREGIONAL INTEGRATIONREGIONAL LEVELREGIONAL POLICIESREGIONAL TRADEREGULATORY ACTIVITIESREGULATORY AGENCIESREGULATORY APPROACHREGULATORY AUTHORITYREGULATORY BARRIERSREGULATORY BODIESREGULATORY CAPACITIESREGULATORY CAPACITYREGULATORY CHANGESREGULATORY CONSTRAINTREGULATORY CONSTRAINTSREGULATORY COSTSREGULATORY DECISIONSREGULATORY FORAREGULATORY FRAMEWORKREGULATORY GOVERNANCEREGULATORY IMPACTREGULATORY INITIATIVESREGULATORY INSTITUTIONSREGULATORY INSTRUMENTSREGULATORY ISSUESREGULATORY MECHANISMSREGULATORY OPTIONSREGULATORY POLICIESREGULATORY PRACTICEREGULATORY PRACTICESREGULATORY PROCESSREGULATORY PROGRAMREGULATORY PROPOSALSREGULATORY REFORMREGULATORY REFORM STRATEGYREGULATORY REFORMSREGULATORY REQUIREMENTSREGULATORY REVIEWSREGULATORY SOLUTIONSREGULATORY SYSTEMREGULATORY SYSTEMSRETURNSINGLE MARKETSOCIAL SECURITYSPREADSTAKEHOLDER CONSULTATIONSTANDING COMMITTEESTANDING COMMITTEESSTRUCTURAL CHANGESSUBSIDIARY RIGHTSTARIFF RATESTARIFF REDUCTIONSTAXTAX HARMONIZATIONTECHNICAL EXPERTSTRADE NEGOTIATIONSTRADE UNIONTRADINGTRADITIONAL FORMS OF REGULATIONTRANSACTIONS COSTSTRANSPARENCYTREATIESTREATYReportInternational Finance Corporation10.1596/27791
