Policy development is the process of creating guidelines or rules that govern actions and decisions within an organization or government. It involves identifying issues, gathering information, and considering various options to address specific needs or problems. Stakeholders, such as community members or experts, often provide input to ensure the policy is effective and relevant. Once a draft policy is created, it typically undergoes review and revision. This may include public consultations or discussions with government officials and interest groups. After finalizing the policy, it is formally adopted and implemented, with ongoing evaluation to assess its impact and effectiveness.
