The process of formulating public policy involves several stages, starting with identifying societal issues or needs. This is followed by research and analysis to understand the implications of potential policy options. Stakeholders, including government officials, interest groups, and the public, often contribute to the discussion. After rigorous examination, policy proposals are drafted, debated, and revised before being approved and implemented. Post-implementation, policies are evaluated for their effectiveness and impact, leading to recommendations for future adjustments or new policies.
