Phase 2: Assessment and Gap Analysis
Using the implementation guide as a benchmark, the Standards Alliance conducted an assessment of the GRP policies in Colombia, Costa Rica, Mexico, Peru and the United States, gauging their consistency with international best practices.
The GRP GAP analysis reports, chart, and presentations (English, Spanish) are available by country:
Phase 3: Bilateral Cooperation
Following the completion of the gap analyses, the Standards Alliance initiated work with each project country bilaterally to begin addressing the identified gaps with the international benchmarks.
Phase 4: Multilateral Cooperation
Following the completion of the gap analyses, the Standards Alliance initiated work with the project countries multilaterally to begin addressing the identified gaps with the international benchmarks. AdvaMed formally connected the Americas Business Dialogue Regulatory Working Group with the Inter-American Development Bank Ibero-American and Caribbean Regulatory Improvement Network, sharing best practices of GRP policy implementing teams between the project countries.
