Expert Solution

Step 1

Governments and organizations use the policy cycle, which consists of a number of processes, to develop, implement, and assess public policies. The policy cycle's steps are:-

Problem identification and agenda setting:- Identifying a problem or issue and putting it on the agenda for policy makers to address is the first stage in the policy cycle.
Policy formulation:- In order to choose the optimal course of action, policymakers examine the issue and gather data in this step. This may entail carrying out a risk analysis to identify potential dangers connected to the issue and analyze the potential effects of various remedies.
Adoption:- The policy is created in this step and approved by the decision-makers. Based on input from stakeholders, including people who might be impacted by the policy, this may require further improvement.
Implementation:- Resources are allotted to support the implementation process as well as the implementation of the policy.
Evaluation:- In this step, the effectiveness of the policy is monitored, evaluated, and any necessary adjustments are made.
