POLICY MAKING PROCESS
Policy
• a statement of intent for achieving an objective.
• Deliberate statement aimed at achieving specific objective
• policies are formulated by the Government in order to provide
a guideline in attaining certain objectives for the benefit of the
people.
• Importance and objective of any policy
• to solve existing challenges/problems in any society
• used as a tool to safeguard and ensure better services to
members of the society.
• Reasons for formulating a Policy
• Reforms (socio-economic, technological advancements, etc)
within and outside the country.
Not just the adoption of new technology, (agricultural) innovation also involves a new way of organising farmers to do things, of marketing crops and implementing new projects and new policies. Here we discuss the implications for projects and initiatives.

Module 4: Policy Making as a Process Dima course contentMichael Kenny
This 24 slide presentation Policy Making as a Process is Module 4 of a nine (9) module online course for adult education policy makers and practitioners to complement an innovative toolkit to guide adult education policy and practice.
Participation in adult education varies significantly across states and regions of Europe! Why? Evidence and literature suggests a wide disparity in policy making, programming and implementation skills in the adult education sector across Europe. It is imperative that policy makers and programme managers address this disparity to foster life-long learning for a smart-sustainable Europe (see EU2020 https://ec.europa.eu/info/business-economy-euro/economic-and-fiscal-policy-coordination/eu-economic-governance-monitoring-prevention-correction/european-semester/framework/europe-2020-strategy_en) and to achieve a European target of 15% of the adult population engaged in learning.
In response to this challenge, the ERASMUS+ DIMA project (See https://dima-project.eu/index.php/en/, 2015 to 2017) developed a practical 9 module online course to complement an innovative toolkit to guide adult education policy and practice. The DIMA toolkit (See https://dima-project.eu/index.php/en/toolkit) introduces tools for developing, implementing, and monitoring adult education policies, strategies, and practices.

How to move Beyond-GDP? An action plan
1. How to move Beyond-GDP?
An Action Plan….
International knowledge brokerage workshop
October 28-29, 2013, Venice (IT)
2. This morning we identified four
kinds of problem (?solution)
• Policy objectives
• Policy process
• Communication – including with indicators
• Data gathering and indicator design
3. This morning we identified four
kinds of problem (?solution)
• Policy objectives
– Vision
– Integrate long term objectives
– Understand consequences of non-action – integrate science
• Policy process
– Deliberation re domains and trade offs
– Well-being function
– Break down silos
• Data gathering and indicator design
– Harmonisation of data gathering, indicators et – with local variations
• Communication – including with indicators
– Clarity about Beyond GDP – common standard (Stiglitz 2)
– Link to SDGs
– Dramatic indicators – that are actionable
4. In our case studies we identified
five kinds of problem…
1. Resources – but this is really a symptom of other
problems
2. Resistance - natural conservatism, ‘Beyond GDP is
redundant’
3. Communication issues – ignorance, lack of strong
narrative, politically difficult language
4. Complexity – many indicators, multi-dimensional
policy decisions
5. Organisation – need for indicator entrepreneurs,
silos, lack of co-operation, human resource
shortages
5. …and several recommendation
themes
To overcome resistance
• Demonstrate the difference Beyond GDP indicators will make
To deal with communication issues
• Develop a strong narrative and find opportunities to
communicate
To deal with complexity
• Develop new approaches to policy analysis
• Develop a database to facilitate use of indicators
To develop organisations
• Identify potential users with power and meet their needs
• Introduce mechanisms facilitating internal/external co-operation
• Invest in human resources
6. The two sets of ideas fit
To overcome resistance - policy objectives
• Demonstrate the difference Beyond GDP indicators will make
–
–
Vision, Integrate long term objectives
Understand consequences of non-action – integrate science
To deal with communication issues - communication
• Develop a strong narrative and find opportunities to communicate
–
–
–
Clarity about Beyond GDP – common standard (Stiglitz 2)
Link to SDGs
Dramatic indicators – that are actionable
To deal with complexity – policy process, data gathering and indicator design
• Develop new approaches to policy analysis
–
–
Deliberation re domains and trade offs
Well-being function
•
Develop a database to facilitate use of indicators
•
Harmonisation of data gathering, indicators et – with local variations
To develop organisations – policy process
• Identify potential users with power and meet their needs
• Introduce mechanisms facilitating internal/external co-operation
•
•
Break down silos
Invest in human resources
