OverviewWhile governments have successfully implemented management improvements over the past decade, many still struggle with the issue of successful policy making and implementation. |
|
IntroductionCommon 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,

- formal evaluation processes than have no impact on policy on the ground
