2004 - maintenant
As a Senior Director at Jacobs, Cordova & Associates Inc., a global consulting firm specializing in regulatory reform and better business environments, he has managed reform projects in Europe, Eastern Europe, Latin America, Africa, Middle East, and Asia. He has worked in the following project areas:
* He is the main developer of the RegulatoryResultsCalculator (RRC)©, an adapted Standard Cost Model measurement methodology embedded into a software that permits reformers to calculate the pre-reform baseline and the monetary outcomes of systematic licenses and permits reforms. The RRC has been deployed in Bosnia, Serbia, Montenegro and Kenya (see IFC Smart Lessons, May 2009).
* Implementing the Regulatory Guillotine™. Based on his pioneering design of the Mexican Guillotine in 1995, Dr. Cordova has designed the framework for Vietnam (2005) and launched the first Regulatory GuillotineTM in the Balkans for the Republic of Srpska of Bosnia & Herzegovina (2006 - 2008), Serbia (2007-2008), Syria (2009 - 2011), Kyrgyzstan (2014- 2017).
* Reforming Inspection Systems. Dr. Cordova co-authored Good Practices for Business Inspections: Guidelines for Reformers (2006) and Inspections Reforms: Do models exist? (2010) published by the IFC and World Bank. The latter reviews systematically inspection reforms in 25 countries. In 2006, he also designed a special Regulatory Guillotine™ for inspection-related measures in the Republic of Srpska of Bosnia & Herzegovina (2006), Albania (2009), Armenia (2010), Kosovo (2010) and Jordan (2011), Moldova (2016) and Tajikistan (2016).
* Introducing Regulatory Impact Analysis (RIA) and Regulatory Consultation techniques into the regulatory systems of El Salvadore (2016- 2017), Tajikistan (2015-2016), Chile (2009 - 2010). Turkey (2006 -2009), Jordan (2008-2009), Bhutan (2008-2010) Macedonian (2007-2008), Peru (2005) and Vietnam (2004); and assessing the potential for a competition impact analysis system in Canada (2005). He has also co-designed with a technological firm partner the Internet based software e*RIA, which is the first integrated software solution for systematizing the entire process of developing draft laws and other regulations through better design, RIA, stakeholder consultation, and quality control so that governments can produce higher quality, more market-friendly regulations at lower cost.
* RIA and Regulatory Governance Training. Dr. Cordova is a lead lecturer at the RIA Training Courses being offered by the Jacobs, Cordova & Associates first with the College of Europe and now with LUISS University in Rome three times a year. He also developed and led a RIA training program for Turkish officials and business leaders and was in charge of organizing a series of regulatory governance workshops in South East Europe; also participated in the EU project to establish a Masters on Regulatory Affairs at the University of Jordan. He designed and taught six regulatory governance training courses for World Bank/IFC in South Easter Europe and design and taught the UNDP's 2nd Regional Training on Ex-ante Policy Impact Assessment with special focus on social inclusion issues and vulnerability patterns.
* Designing and Building Capacities at Regulatory Institutions in Tajikistan (2015), Bhutan (2010), Chile (2010), Albania (2009), Paraguay (2006) Macedonia (2004) and Belgium (2004). This work has its roots in worldwide assessments prepared for World Bank/FIAS and, in the case of sectorial regulators, for the Asian Development Bank.
