Policy processes refer to the steps taken by governments or organizations to create and implement rules or guidelines that address specific issues. This involves identifying a problem, gathering information, and discussing possible solutions. Stakeholders, such as citizens, experts, and interest groups, often participate in this process to ensure diverse perspectives are considered. Once a policy is proposed, it goes through stages like drafting, reviewing, and approval. After approval, the policy is put into action, and its effects are monitored. This ongoing evaluation helps to determine if the policy is effective or if adjustments are needed, ensuring that it meets the needs of the community it serves.
