Introduction
While CUTS was established in 1983-84 as a consumerprotection group, over time it flowered into five
programmatic centres going beyond traditional consumerprotection related issues. To confer a distinct identity to CUTS�work on competition and regulatory policy issues, a Centrewas established in 2003, and named CUTS Centre forCompetition, Investment & Economic Regulation (CUTS CCIER).CUTS CCIER operates under the advice/guidance of itsInternational Advisory Board (IAB) headed by eminentcompetition expert Professor Frederic Jenny (a Judge in theFrench Supreme Court - Cour De Cassation) and comprising ofother academicians, practitioners and intergovernmentalorganisation specialists drawn from institutions like WTO,UNCTAD, World Bank etc. The list of the Advisors is availableon the CUTS CCIER website (www.cuts-ccier.org/Advisors_Index.htm).
In 2006, CUTS CCIER adopted a new �Mission Statement�,following a round of intense discussion that involved theadvisors. CUTS CCIER�S new Mission Statement1 is:
Promoting Fair Markets to enhanceConsumer Welfare and Economic Development
CUTS CCIER has the following programmatic areas:� Competition Policy and Law� Economic Regulation� Consumer Protection� Investment Climate
ObjectivesThe main objectives of the centre are:� promoting research activities in the developing world on
themes coinciding or having linkages with theprogrammatic areas;
� wider outreach and dissemination of relevant knowledgeand skills to increase awareness and build capacity ofcivil society, government and business community;
� evolving approaches to facilitate active participation ofconsumers in the process of socio-economic policyreforms; and

Special Initiatives
CUTS Institute for Regulation & Competition (CIRC)www.circ.inEnhancing Knowledge, Strengthening Capacity
CUTS CCIER established the CUTS Institute for Regulation &Competition (CIRC), which aims to act as a dedicated training andcapacity building entity and fill the existing knowledge gap oncompetition policy and regulatory issues. The aim is to offereducational and training programmes to cater to the unmetdemand of trained personnel in the following subjects: EconomicRegulation and Competition Policy.
Parliamentarians� Forum on Economic Policy Issues (PARFORE)www.parfore.in
The Centre facilitated formation of Parliamentarians� Forum onEconomic Policy Issues (PARFORE, www.parfore.in). PARFORE wasconceived as a non-partisan and informal forumwhereMembersof Parliament (MPs) from India are able to air their views on coreeconomic policy issues in the field of trade, competition,regulatory reforms, investment and their cross linkages. Thediscussions at PARFORE meetings would not only help evolvegreater understanding among Parliamentarians on complex policyissues having considerable public interest significance, but wouldalso help CUTS extract important policy elements for its work onsocio-economic and regulatory policy reform.
Deep Roots in CompetitionCUTS tree has deep roots (in competition) leaves and foliage providingshelter to the hapless consumers throughout the globe and flowers and fruitsthat are the envy of many.

International Network of Civil Society Organisations onCompetition (INCSOC)
The International Network of Civil Society Organisations onCompetition (INCSOC, www.incsoc.net) was floated by severalcivil society organisations (CSOs) as a coalition promoting ahealthy competition culture in theWorld. The concept cameout of extensive work on the subject of competition policy &law undertaken by Consumer Unity & Trust Society (CUTS).INCSOC was the result of a path-breaking project oncomparison of competition regimes in seven developingcountries (popularly called the 7Up Project) of Asia & Africa(2000-02).
Approach to Research, Advocacy & Networking
CUTS CCIER is a Research, Advocacy and Networking(RAN) entity � a character that the Centre derives from the
organisation, CUTS.
Research
Advocacy
Networking
What?
On public policy issueswhere there is a lack ofunderstanding and evenbackground information,for gathering evidence,where required, andinitiating reforms
Use existing or self-generated evidence toinitiate a process ofsocio-economic reformsthat are need-based andhas potential broad-based impact
Evolve fora whereorganisations havingsimilar focus/objectives(civil societyorganisations as well asdevelopment partners)can discuss and learn bysharing of experiencesand actions
Why?
In order to pursueevidence-basedadvocacy and capacitybuilding activities
To initiate a process ofchange (both in policyand practice) in theinterest of economicdevelopment andconsumerwelfare
To facilitate the processof practical learning andactions
How?
In addition toundertaking research onour own, also partneringwith other researchorganisations, consumerorganisations, think-tanks, associations, etc.to undertake theresearch
Through various means� policy discourses,events, personalcommunication, publicdissemination,empowermentofadvocates, etc.
Through onlinenetworks, therebymaintaining institutionalmemory and profile ofnetworks. INCSOC is anetwork beingmaintained by CUTSCCIER (one of its kind intheworld!)

ModusOperandiThe Centre follows the RAN model (Research, Advocacy
and, Networking) for performance of its operations. Themodelis adopted for both funded and non-funded operations carriedout at the Centre. At times, the outputs of non-funded workassist in procurement of funded projects.
The model is implemented by the following means:� participatory research (thereby building self-capacity)
on relevant topics pertaining to the programme areas,� motivating civil society organisations throughout the
developing world to undertake research work on theabove programme areas,
� outreach by disseminating research reports;contributing newspaper articles; developing briefingpapers, monographs; preparing and distributingnewsletters, hosting discussions on e-groups andpostings on the CUTS website, leveraging on new socialmedia, such as Facebook, etc.
� building capacity of interested organisations byresponding to �felt-needs�,
� training of multiple stakeholders on Regulatory Policyissues (including Competition Policy & Law, Economicregulation, Consumer protection & Investment climate),
� engaging in advocacy processes by involving multiplestakeholders, with the media playing a pro-active role,
What? Why? How?
Develop capacity of civilsociety organisations,government agenciesand differentassociations indeveloping countries forthem to pursueeconomic growth andconsumer welfare goals.Need-based
awareness andsensitisation is alsoundertaken to createdemand for capacitybuilding
There is huge demandfor capacity buildingamong thesestakeholders in thedevelopingworld(especially, given thatthe process of trade andregulatory reforms hasprogressed in thedevelopingworld).In some areas, there
is a lack of awareness(and consequently,absence of demand forcapacity building).Creating awareness isimportant to createsustainable demand forcapacity building
CapacityBuilding

Organogram and Personnel ProfileThe following diagramme provides an idea of the
organogram of CUTS CCIER.
The (above) staff comprise of economists, lawyers, socialscientists, development practitioners and managementexecutives. All of them are on pay-roll and have a specific taskassigned to each. In addition to the above full-time staff ofCUTS CCIER, the Centre also engages consultants from time totime to implement projects. These consultants are eitherselected from the list of CUTS Fellows or from outside.
Further, CUTS CCIER also has a team of InternationalAdvisers, who guide project teams and also staff on theirprojects. This International Advisory Board (IAB) of CUTS isheaded by renowned competition expert (and Judge in theFrench Supreme Court), Frederic Jenny and comprise of 19members.
First NGO Stepped in AfricaCUTS is the first NGO to have stepped out of its boundaries to work in a poorcountry in Africa to extend its knowledge and experience on economic policyissues as an �appropriate technology�. The Zambia Competition Commissionhas benefited from its association with CUTS, which began in 2000; and hascommended CUTS for providing assistance to other developing countries inAfrica and Asia on the subject of competition policy and law.

Personnel planningIn view of the agenda (current and future) that CUTS CCIER
intends to pursue in this plan period, it would be necessary toincrease the staff strength by few more staff.
Monitoring and Evaluation Framework
Monitoring and evaluation framework can be consideredfrom two perspectives: (i) Organisational and (ii)
Project-specific.
OrganisationalThere are various ways and means by which CUTS CCIER
(like the other Centres of CUTS) monitor its activities on aregular basis, as is enumerated:
(i) Weekly Meetings � held weekly to assess the activities ofthe Centre staff at the beginning of the week, and shareresponsibilities and keep all members of the Centreinformed;
(ii) Monthly Meetings � held once a month and minuted to actas a ready-reckoner for individual staff to take specificproject related actions;
(iii) Annual Retreats � To take a macro/long term view andanalyse the growth of the centre � diagnose (try to)challenges and identify opportunities
(iv) Issue /project specific meetings (in the project team)
Project-specificEvery project has a specific time schedule (and its
implementation is guided by an Operational Strategy Note(OSN), which is based on the project proposal. Further, most ofthe projects also have a Logical Framework Analysis preparedfor it to help in the process of ex-post assessment. Annual andFinal Evaluations by independent entities are also undertaken.
Creating a Competition Culture in the Developing WorldUNCTAD cooperates closely with civil society to increase awareness of thebenefits of competition policy for consumers and for economic developmentin general. In this respect, CUTS and UNCTAD have a long history ofcollaboration on creating a competition culture in the developing world. It is,thus, a pleasure for me to commend the long term efforts undertaken in thisfield by CUTS.�

Future Initiatives
The following chart provides an idea about proposed (2013-2016) projects, which CUTS CCIER has developed (through
a process of careful internal discussions and review), andwould be taken up for implementation in the suggestedperiods. These are all projects that are funded by a donor.
Apart from these funded projects, CUTS CCIER has alreadytaken up a number of self-initiated assignments. Some of themare also regular like � (i) Competition Distortions Dossier (forIndia), (ii) PIR to stimulate investigation by CompetitionCommission of India; (iii) Newsletters; (iv) Campaigns (World

Implementation Challenges & Opportunities
In the run-up to the preparation of this Strategic BusinessPlan (2013-17), there were several rounds of internaldiscussions in the team to identify the existing challenges andopportunities for CUTS CCIER. An analysis of the same isprovided here, and it is critical that both these challenges andopportunities are identified and addressed in order for CUTSCCIER to be able to implement this SBP (2013-17).
Expected Outcomes
Averting/recovery ofexchange loss
Long-term sustainedgrowth of centre
Towards a Functional Competition Policy for IndiaStarting from a small consumer protection organisation about two decadesago, the Consumer Unity and Trust Society has become an important andlarge NGO with interests in trade policy and competition. Over the past threeyears, especially, it has managed to collect some formidable talent and put itto work on these issues. It has thus honed policy advocacy to a fine art. (Itoo have been associated with CUTS research). Its latest offering �Towards aFunctional Competition Policy for India� is rich in both information andanalysis and therefore well worth at least a leisurely browse.�

Communication and Outreach Strategy
CUTS is known for its consistent and sustained advocacyefforts. Almost every research project of the centre has an
inbuilt advocacy component, which helps in ensuring thatresearch outcomes create an impact towards policyformulation/implementation. It becomes very important todisseminate the research result � otherwise the work would bein vain. But, how do we communicate those results? How canwe convert the data into knowledge? Data that are not sharedor are shared with only few people is not considered valuable.A successful communication strategy will enhance the abilityof research to achieve the intended outcomes.
The following matrix summarises the elements of CUTSCCIER�s communication strategy.
Success IndicatorsCUTS CCIER�s communication strategy (as sumamrised
above) is based on a very commonly used formula forcommunications strategy is RACE2, which stands for:� Research - Investigate and describe the situation and the
need� Analyse - Determine the target audience, goals, objectives
and tactics� Communicate - Implement the tactics� Evaluate - Determine level of success

Human Resource Development/ManagementThe practice of changing people and organisation for positivegrowth is common factor of organisational development.Organisational development is proportionate with above-stated agenda. Therefore, it is crucial that human resourcesare dynamically productive andmotivated.
The objectives of human resource development/management are to:
� Organisation: achieve efficiency and effectiveness byhelping them to attain efficiency in their operations andattainment of goals to attain efficiency.
� Personal: creating work-life balance by helping toacquire, develop, utilise, and maintain employees.
� Social: attending legal, ethical, and socialenvironmental issues. Equal opportunity and equal payfor equal work, helpingwomen empowerment.
At present, there are 13 staff working with the centre, fiveof them are programme staff. The staff comprise ofeconomists, lawyers, social scientists, developmentpractitioners and executives
The composition of the human resources of the centre isvaried given the nature of its work � overall it is relativelymore intensive to network-based action research along withadvocacy so as to achieve results and outcomes that createand impact towards policy formulation/implementation.Keeping in mind all factors i.e. organisation, functional,personal, social etc. relating to diversity of human resources,over time, human resources capacity will be increasedappropriately.
A separate team for policy advocacy, networking andoutreach, and capacity building will be developed. There willbe programme area wise consolidation of human resources.

Financial Position and Projection
The financial position has been prepared by recording theincome (total cost of projects) that have been implemented
by CUTS CCIER on a yearly basis, and calculating a yearly raisein the income (since 2004-05).
Yearly projections in income over the period 2011-12onwards, has been made by using the average yearly growthrate (%) for each year.
