About The Programme

Public sector managers and policymakers must deliver timely, high-quality and workable solutions to complex and constantly evolving socio-political, economic and sectoral challenges. This demands a thorough understanding of how to formulate and execute policies with real impact, how to identify problems on the ground and what are the different approaches to distinct, yet interrelated policy issues.

Essentials of Policy Development imparts detailed foundational knowledge and theoretical frameworks of the policy development process, from conceptualising public policy to evaluating options and measuring outcomes and impact. The programme combines interactive lectures, discussions of policy case studies and facilitated group work to complement conceptual learning with practical training.
