How can civil society organisations be involved in drafting digital competition law

The Centre has been urged to involve civil society organisations in drafting the digital competition law.
Civil society organisations can play a crucial role in the drafting of digital competition law. Here are some ways in which they can be involved:
  • Consultation: The Centre can consult civil society organisations before drafting the law to understand their perspectives and concerns about digital competition in the country.
  • Expertise: Civil society organisations can provide subject matter expertise on the digital economy and competition issues to help ensure that the law is comprehensive and effective.
  • Advocacy: Civil society organisations can advocate for the inclusion of certain provisions in the law that may be beneficial for consumers, startups, and SMBs.
  • Public awareness: Civil society organisations can create awareness among the public about the importance of the digital competition law and how it can impact them.
  • Monitoring and feedback: After the law is enacted, civil society organisations can monitor its implementation and provide feedback to the government on any issues that arise.
By involving civil society organisations in the drafting of the digital competition law, the Centre can ensure that a wide range of stakeholders are represented and that the law is robust and effective.
