     Policy is a formal documented of intentions and sets of

    actions of an organization/authority to either remove


    certain deficiencies or improve the conditions in any
    particular area of concern/interest such as housing
    shortage, food crises, water contamination, growing
    poverty etc.

     It could either be a part of an overall development policy


    and strategy of the country could be a specific document
    addressing a particular issue i.e. Food Security Policy,
    Poverty Reduction Strategy, National Housing Policy,
    Climate Change Policy, Health etc.

     A course of action that will create a desired objective in


    the interest of the masses or the people in a given country.
    State the problem meaningfully
     Determine the magnitude and extent of the problem
     Continually re-define the problem in light of what is possible
     Eliminate irrelevant material
     Question the accepted thinking about the problem
     Question initial formulations of the problem
     Say it with data
     Locate similar policy analyses
     Locate relevant sources of data
     Eliminate ambiguity
     Clarify objectives
     Resolve conflicting goals
     Focus on the central, critical factors
     Identify who is concerned, and why?
     What power do concerned parties have?
     Make a quick estimate of resources required to deal with the
    problem
    The first thing the policy analyst must do is
    to ask:
    - Does a problem exist?
    - Can anything be done about it?
    - Does the client have the power?

    Of the answers are no, then there is no


    point in doing a policy analysis.
    -Policies must be soundly based on
    adequately evaluated facts and
    experience. Persons affected by
    policy especially clientele groups
    should be involved in the process.
    A public policy is a deliberate and
    (usually) careful decision that provides
    guidance for addressing selected public
    concerns. Policy development can be
    seen, then, as a decision making
    process that helps address identified
    goals, problems or concerns. At its core,
    policy development entails the selection
    of a destination or desired objective.
    In building public support, governments
    must ensure that:
    -Information is complete, objective,
    reliable, relevant and easy to find and
    understand
    -Consultation has clear goals and
    rules defining the limits of the
    exercise and government’s obligation
    to account for its use.
    •Policy adoption can be influenced the
    same factors that affect the composition
    of policy agendas: the lobbying efforts
    of significant interest groups, crises, and
    public attention brought by the media.

    •Governors and mayors can adopt


    policies to bring about change on the
    state or local level.
    Policy implementation involves putting adopted policies into
    effect. Successful implementation is dependent upon three
    elements.
    First, policies must be passed down from the president or
    state and local government officials to the appropriate
    agency within the government bureaucracy).
    The second element essential to effective policy
    implementation is clear interpretation.
    The final element needed in effective policy
    implementation is also difficult to accomplish. The
    dedication of resources to implement the policy under the
    first element must be joined with coordination of the policy
    with ongoing operations. In other words, a new initiative or
    agency must not cause excessive competition or
    disagreement with existing initiatives or agencies.
    Policy evaluation is the last step in the policy process.
    It may ask deep and wide-ranging questions, such as:
    -was the problem correctly identified, or was the
    correct problem identified?
    -were any important aspects overlooked?
    -were recommendations properly implemented?
    -is the policy having the desired effect?
    -are there any needs for modification, change, or re-
    design? What should be done differently next time?

    When policies fail to have the intended effect, it is


    usually due to one of two types of failure; theory failure,
    or program failure.
