How are publications and links chosen to be posted on the website?
For the initial content load of the website, publications and links relevant to the BizCLIR methodology and the business enabling environment were pulled from various international organizations. The BizCLIR team expects to continually add to the website. Suggested publications and links relevant to the business enabling environment are welcome. For publications, be sure to include relevant author, source, date, and URL information.
Can I submit opinions to the website?
Absolutely! To submit opinions, just make sure that you have already registered for the website. Opinions should also include date, executive summary, and author’s contact information. Opinions will be vetted by the internal BizCLIR.com team before being posted on the website. Send submissions via the following
page.
If I know of a Best Practice for the Business Environment, may I submit it?
Certainly! We have a standard 5 section format: Introduction, Context, Approach, Results, and Conclusion. Before drafting, please contact the team to discuss.
What do I need to do in order to participate in web discussions via the expert opinion page?
In order to submit comments on an expert opinon, the user must have registered as a member for the BizCLIR.com website. In order to register, you only need to provide your name, location, organization, and email address.
How is BizCLIR different from the Doing Business Report?
Information about BizCLIR and the BizCLIR methodology can be found
here. The link between BizCLIR and Doing Business is explained
here.
Where does information on each country page come from?
Country pages are populated with general information in the country’s assessment. As such, the information for Albania comes from the 1999 Albania Assessment and the information for Rwanda comes from the 2008 Rwanda Assessment. Country information is not continually updated, but generally reflects the key political and economic trends in that country.
How is content assigned to different topics or countries?
When content is added to the website, each piece of content is tagged to the relevant topic(s) and country(ies). Those pieces of content will show up along the right hand column on each page with which they are associated.
What are the ‘Related Topics’?
Before BizCLIR migrated to using the ten Doing Business indicators, the CLIR methodology (“Commercial, Law, and Institutional Reform”), consisted of fifteen indicators. Most of the country reports completed before 2007 were conducted using a subset of these CLIR topics, which we refer to as Related Topics. On each Doing Business Topic page, you’ll find the associated Related Topics in the right hand column and may click on each for more information.
