JSW010 - Policy Development and Implementation
Policy Development and Implementation
Policy development and implementation are often described as distinct and separate stages within the policy cycle. In practice, policy development and implementation are integrally linked. This workshop will cover topics related to both processes and will help participants to understand the relationship and interdependence between them. During the policy development stage, both political and technical issues have to be addressed. Political issues include linking with government goals, getting buy-in, and setting a vision. Technical issues include gathering evidence and data of what works, analysis and design of options, implementation planning, and public consultation.
