THE Anti-Red Tape Authority (ARTA) has recognized 343 individuals from various government agencies and local government units (LGUs) as Regulatory Impact Assessment (RIA) champions.<\/p>\r\r
ARTA Director General Ernesto Perez said on Sunday the agency capped its 2024 RIA training activities by naming its 3rd Annual Enrich: Empowering Next-Generation RIA Champions during ceremonies held at the Philippine International Convention Center (PICC) last Friday.<\/p>\r\r
Perez said RIA training equips government employees with the knowledge and skills to ensure that regulations do not cause undue regulatory burdens to the transacting public.<\/p>\r\r
Led by ARTA Better Regulations Office\u2013Regulatory Management and Training Division (BRO-RMTD), the event gathered 343 employees from 63 government offices and LGUs, including trainees from ARTA's e-learning system, Policy Reform, Innovation and Streamlining Management (Prism).<\/p>\r\r

Perez underlined the urgency to streamline government processes and enhance the ease of doing business in the country.<\/p>\r\r
\"President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. has made it a priority to improve bureaucratic efficiency and promote economic growth,\" he said.<\/p>\r\r
\"By investing in capacity-building initiatives such as these RIA training, we are taking significant steps towards realizing the President's vision for a more prosperous and competitive Philippines,\" he said.<\/p>\r\r
In a message delivered during the event, Australia Embassy to the Philippines Economic Section Counsellor Luke Villiers underscored the vital role of regulatory reform in fostering economic prosperity.<\/p>\r\r
