2 THE ESSENCE OF THE COURSE While governments have successfully implemented management improvements over the past decade, many still struggle with the issue of successful policy making and implementation. Common problems include: rushing to solutions without thorough analysis; elegantly written policy documents without adequate implementation arrangements; lack of integration of policy-making into annual and medium term budgeting leading to inadequate funding for new policies; lack of imagination in the choice of policy instruments and methods of implementation; formal evaluation processes than have no impact on policy on the ground. LEARNING OBJECTIVES At the end of this program, participants will be able to: understand and follow the stages in the policy-making, implementation and monitoring and evaluation processes; advise on most appropriate policy instruments to use for a policy objective; actively engage in the implementation process; selectively apply modern business strategy methods to public policy issues; contribute to the design and execution of monitoring and evaluation schemes; understand and practice key negotiation principles; and understand the main ethical concerns in policy making and implementation process.
