SummaryA government trust survey is a population-based survey instrument for measuring how much citizens trust their public institutions and identifying the drivers of that trust. Building on the OECD's Trust in Government work, modern instruments treat trust not as a single mood but as a set of measurable expectations: that government is competent and reliable in delivering services, and that it acts on values such as integrity, openness, fairness and responsiveness. By surveying a representative sample of the population, weighting responses to the population, and analyzing trust alongside its drivers, the method produces comparable indicators that diagnose where and why public trust is high or low and what policy levers might raise it.Regulatory impact assessment (RIA) is a systematic, ex ante framework for appraising the likely consequences of a proposed regulation before it is adopted, so that policymakers choose the option that delivers the greatest net benefit to society. Promoted internationally by the OECD as a cornerstone of regulatory quality and 'better regulation,' RIA requires governments to define the problem clearly, identify a full range of options including non-regulatory alternatives, weigh their costs and benefits, consult affected parties, recommend the preferred option, and plan for monitoring. The aim is to replace reflexive rule-making with evidence-based, transparent and proportionate regulation.
