The Business Regulatory Reform (BRR) programme is an integral component of Government’s Economic and Industrial Transformation Agenda.
The programme aims at establishing a world-class Regulatory Administration in Ghana by improving the quality, predictability and transparency of regulatory services.
This is expected to create a conducive business environment to attract private capital and stimulate youth entrepreneurship and job creation.
The BRR Programme consists of seven pillars intended to systematically transform how Government makes and revises the regulations governing business activities in Ghana.
It is designed to put in place efficient and fair government rules that encourage all businesses - small, medium and large - to invest in innovation,
drive economic transformation, create more jobs, and become successful in the domestic, regional or global markets.
The vision is to make Ghana the most business-friendly economy in Africa.
1. To clean up or simplify existing business regulations that are inefficient or are not business-friendly.
2. To improve how business regulations are produced by ensuring that new regulations meet agreed minimum criteria, e.g. business-friendliness, anticipated impact (cost-benefit), etc.
3. To establish acceptable standards of transparency to protect the integrity of regulatory practices.
4. To build capacity of public institutions (regulators) in specific or targeted areas of regulatory services delivery.
5. To communicate more inclusively to make the business environment a shared priority.
