Policy Design Principles And Strategies

Course overview

The government creates policies through a multi-step process known as “policy making” in response to issues or challenges raised by the public and brought to the attention of lawmakers. These policies, which control the activities of the general public, the government, and other public sector organizations, take the shape of laws and regulations.

In addition to establishing law and order, public policy serves the interests of the general public by addressing societal demands and necessities. A policy framework lays out a set of guidelines or objectives that can be applied during negotiations or decision-making processes in order to establish or uphold policies. The proper and appropriate implementation of government policy is ensured by public administration.

Participants will gain extensive knowledge and understanding about policy creation and administration, including its process, several approaches, and the components of a policy framework, by taking this Training Bee training course.
