Projects selected to receive funding under the Regulators’ Capacity Fund fall primarily under one of two groups based on how they support regulatory capacity for competitiveness:

• Analysis-based (i.e. initiatives to enhance understanding of what needs to be done to improve the regime’s competitiveness, and to equip regulators with the relevant skills and information); and,
• Solutions-based (i.e. initiatives to implement solutions that would develop capacity to administer regulations in a more cost-effective manner, which in turn, enhances the regime’s competitiveness).

The following are projects that were supported by the RCF.
