DIL places special emphasis on strengthening the
capacity within OAS Member States to implement secured transactions
reforms. In particular, three principles underpin our approach:
Local ownership. The secured transactions reform
activities must be country-driven, designed and implemented with
broad-based, local stakeholder “ownership.” In all of our
activities, DIL has emphasized the need for local engagement and has
promoted reliance on local advisors, where possible, and ongoing
training of country officials.
Long-term planning, priorities, and impact
assessment. Legislative reforms must be considered in a wider
context, taking into consideration not only integration with other
laws, regulations and policies, but also local business practices
and financial culture. In that regard, comprehensive desk analysis
must be supplemented with in-the-field diagnostics of the access to
credit environment from the perspective of a range of stakeholder
groups. This serves the dual function of data collection and
awareness raising, thereby further strengthening local support for
the reforms.
Institutional architecture. Legislation for
secured transactions reform must be supported by the necessary
institutional framework, which requires education and training of
government officials and the business community, particularly MSMEs,
and women-owned businesses. Capacity-building seminars help to
provide a learning environment and platform for the development of
new lending practices, as well as the creation and strengthening of
supportive institutional infrastructure.
