This report provides the summary of the SCSC Workshop “APEC Experiences on Good Regulatory Practices: Improving Public Consultation”, held on 14 August 2024 in Lima, Peru. The workshop aimed to (i) facilitate information exchange between economies regarding their public consultation initiatives; (ii) enhance collaboration between public and private sector stakeholders from APEC economies to discuss approaches on public consultation, and (iii) identify best practices from participating APEC economies. Speakers and participants engaged in discussions on the challenges economies face when implementing public consultation, the opportunities they have for improving their processes through the use of technology tools, and the importance of establishing mechanisms that are accessible and inclusive for all stakeholders. Public and private sector representatives also explored ideas on collaboration for the improvement of public consultation. These ideas are collected as best practices proposed in this Summary Report.
