Organismo de Mejora Regulatoria

What Organismo de Mejora Regulatoria does

Organismo de Mejora Regulatoria (OMR) is the government regulatory improvement agency of El Salvador, established under the Ley de Mejora Regulatoria (approved December 12, 2018; effective April 2019). Its statutory mandate is to ensure that regulations generate benefits superior to their costs, that unnecessary administrative requirements are eliminated, and that El Salvador's business climate, competitiveness, and investment attractiveness are improved. OMR is housed within the Government of El Salvador (GOES) and operates with approximately 7 staff from a single headquarters in San Salvador (Colonia San Benito).

OMR's core product is the Registro Nacional de Trámites (RNT), a national digital registry (simejora.omr.gob.sv) where government procedures are registered, evaluated for legality, simplified, and published for transparency. Supporting this, OMR has developed DiagramadorSV (with a new BPMN module launched in February 2026 in partnership with BID and Google) for process flow mapping, plus four mandated regulatory tools: Agenda Regulatoria (forecasting of regulatory changes), Plan de Mejora Regulatoria (institutional improvement plans), Evaluaciomg de Impacto Regulatorio (EIR, regulatory impact assessment), and a Virtual Classroom (Aula Virtual) for capacity building. By 2021 the RNT had processed 2,131+ procedure modalities and supported 1,509+ training attendances across 145 sessions.

OMR's business model is non-commercial: it is funded through the national government budget and does not charge fees for its services. Its customer base is entirely governmental — executive-branch ministries, autonomous agencies, and 262 municipalities — with named deployments across ministries of Health, Tourism, Agriculture, Public Works, Finance, Environment, Foreign Affairs, Customs, the Supreme Court, the Fire Service, and the National Registry Center. International partnerships with the ITU, OECD, BID, Google, CONAMYPE, and the European Union provide technical cooperation and positioning within regional regulatory improvement networks.

Direct peers

• Swedish Better Regulation Council (Regelrådet): Swedish council that scrutinizes regulatory proposals for burden and quality; functionally aligned with OMR's regulatory impact assessment framework.
• CONAMER (Comisión Nacional para la Mejora Regulatoria): Mexico's national commission for regulatory improvement (now AGN), operating a federal regulatory improvement agenda and procedure registry analogous to OMR's RNT/EIR stack — closest functional peer in the region.
• Actal (Netherlands): Dutch independent advisory body on regulatory burden, focused on quantifying administrative costs of regulation — same cross-sector regulatory-quality mandate as OMR at a smaller national scale.
• Norwegian Better Regulation Council (Regelrådet): Norway's independent regulatory quality council reviewing proposed rules for proportionality — methodological twin to OMR's EIR and simplification work.
• German National Regulatory Control Council (Normenkontrollrat / NKR): Independent German advisory body tasked with measuring and reducing regulatory burden on citizens and businesses — direct methodological parallel to OMR's regulatory impact assessment and simplification mandate.

Others

• OECD Regulatory Policy Division: Methodology-setting body whose regulatory quality indicators and best-practice guidance underpin national regulators like OMR; not a direct peer but a key collaborator and reference framework.
• IFC Regulatory Simplification Advisory: World Bank Group advisory practice that supports government regulatory reform and investment-climate simplification in emerging markets — comparable subject matter and donor ecosystem.
• Inter-American Development Bank (IDB / BID): Strategic partner financing OMR's procedure simplification work in El Salvador; thematic ecosystem participant rather than a competitive peer.
• CONAMYPE (Comisión Nacional de la Micro y Pequeña Empresa): Salvadoran counterpart agency with which OMR signed a cooperation agreement for MYPE formalization and simplification — adjacent government stakeholder with overlapping simplification agenda.

Regional players

• Comisión de Regulación de Comunicaciones (CRC, Colombia): Colombian regulatory agency which co-hosted the 2026 ITU Regulatory Innovation Workshop with OMR; a regional comparator delivering regulatory oversight and procedure simplification in Latin America.
