JC&A assisted the government in reviewing and reforming unclear and cumbersome regulatory and institutional frameworks, reducing licensing requirements, and rationalizing its inspection procedures. JC&A advised the State Committee for Investment and State Property Management on implementing its ambitious reforms. Our work involved business questionnaires and interviews, including focus groups, with businesses and the inspection authorities and producing the report, Inspections and Licensing Reforms in Tajikistan. If adopted, our recommended changes would also boost performance accountability by making future compliance reviews lower-cost and more complete and by setting a permanent system of oversight, checks, and balances, and due process to correct abuses.
