“…However, regulation can have a high impact on society (DASKAL et al 2019) and needs to be adequately developed so that its objectives are achieved and unintended consequences are not produced (CASTRO, 2014;HASSAN, 2015).…”

This study aimed to demonstrate the potential use of the problem analysis and definition, one of the Regulatory Impact Analysis (RIA) phases, as an alternative in directing critical, rational and logical thinking for the formulation of regulatory policies and actions to face COVID-19. The theoretical basis involved an overview of regulation, RIA and problem analysis and definition. A descriptive study with qualitative approach was used to report the results of the virtual workshop, with didactic-pedagogical characteristics, on the main problem analysis and definition in the COVID-19 context. Seven employees and one trainee, who works in the regulatory quality improvement unit at Anvisa, participated in the virtual workshop. The main problem was defined as “Dissemination of the little-known SARS-COV-2 coronavirus, untreated and with a high rate of contagion”. Ten consequences related to the problem were identified, with worsening mental health problems being one of them. As an illustration, the study highlighted five of the 20 causes listed by the participants. The low population adherence to the prevention and control measures was considered one of the problem causes. The risk group population, such as the elderly and people with comorbidities, was one of the 30 agents affected by the problem identified in the workshop. This study is a contribution to coping with COVID-19, as well as to other future public health emergencies.

“…A survey done in low-income countries showed that RIA has been applied but it is still in the early stage of adoption (Kirkpatrick et al, 2004). In Brazil, RIA is incipient and faces some problems to proper implementation, such as the lack of a centralized regulatory agency (Castro, 2014). Also, the lack of studies and information on this topic hampers the RIA application.…”

This study aimed to identify the main sources of drinking water, evaluate public perception and satisfaction with regards to tap water and compare it with the distance from provider in Florianopolis city, Southern Brazil. Physicochemical and microbiological parameters of water at daycare centers were also assessed. Questionnaires were applied to 1,298 residences in six districts regarding water quality and consumption preferences and analyzed by adjusted binary logistic regression. Tap water physicochemical and microbiological parameters at the selected districts were assessed during summer and winter seasons. Of the 581 questionnaire respondents, 93% did not drink tap water, mostly due to a lack of confidence in water safety and taste. Only 39% were satisfied with water quality and approximately 30% reported that water is worse in summer season. Most water samples collected were not in accordance with Brazilian regulations. Thirty percent of samples were positive for total coliform, and one sample was positive for infectious adenovirus (38 PFU/L). Chlorine concentration was higher in some districts closer to the provider and during the summer season. These results could be useful in informing political resolutions aiming to improve the quality of drinking water, and to protect human health.

“…In the Brazilian regulatory environment, since 2007, when the program for strengthening the institutional capacity of regulatory management (PRO‐REG in Portuguese) was created, some federal agencies have already been involved in the process of implementing RIA and some of its procedures (De Castro, ). However, PRO‐REG was later discontinued, and its changing locus has not promoted the debate on RIA at the federal level.…”

The presence of governance: A system assessment based on innovative core regulatory principles for Brazilian regulators

et al. 2019

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Regulatory governance is considered as a new era in the state's intervention, and it is vital to foster both qualitative and quantitative performances of regulators. In this paper, the authors argue that the absence of governance principles allows regulators to justify the adoption of instruments to improve it. Five core regulatory principles, particularly accountability, administrative capacity, open government, regulatory quality, and rule of law build the bridge between regulatory governance and regulatory substance. The authors propose the application of a multicriteria modelling method (ELECTRE TRI‐C) in order to conduct the assessment and categorization of Brazilian subnational regulators according to the presence of governance, encompassing the opinions of legitimate stakeholders. The levels of regulatory governance are calculated for the regulators in order to provide some determinants of good governance, which could be stimulated by regulatory impact assessment, as a policy tool that improves institutional environments.
