DRIVER 6 - MANDATE AND LEGAL AUTHORITY, CONT.
For an IPA to be an effective organization it is vital that it has
a clear and exclusive mandate
■ The law should clearly define the mandate outlining the
agency's specific responsibilities, and define the required
powers and legal authority given to the agency to carry out
its mandate
-
Investment promotion only, or in combination with trade?
Investment policy, facilitation, approval, etc.?
Ideally, the IPA's mandate should be limited to a discrete number of
tasks specifically related to increasing the inward flow of FDI and
assisting new and existing investors
■ There are common (legal) issues which must be resolved first
before the IPA can begin operations effectively
