The policy development process typically involves several steps:
1. Identifying Issues: Recognizing areas that need improvement or change. 2. Research and Evidence Gathering: Collecting data and evidence to support the need for a new policy. 3. Stakeholder Engagement: Involving key stakeholders to gather input and build consensus. 4. Drafting the Policy: Creating a draft policy based on the gathered information and stakeholder input. 5. Review and Revision: Reviewing the draft policy, making necessary revisions, and finalizing it. 6. Implementation: Putting the policy into practice within the relevant settings. 7. Evaluation: Assessing the policy's effectiveness and making adjustments as needed.
