The Policy Process Model

The Policy Process Model explains how public policies are developed and implemented through several stages: identifying problems, setting goals, proposing solutions, making decisions, putting policies into action, and evaluating their effectiveness. It involves various stakeholders like government officials, experts, and the public working together or competing to shape policies. This model helps to understand how policies change over time and the factors influencing those changes, emphasizing that policy-making is an ongoing, complex process rather than a one-time event.
