Policy Tools of Government 2015
A Professional Development Course for OPS Policy Advisors and Senior Policy Advisors
|
|
Objectives At the end of this course, participants will understand the range of policy instruments (regulation, taxation, direct spending, service delivery, moral suasion, etc.) available to meet government objectives and the factors that need to be considered in using them successfully. What You Will Learn Policy making in government is changing, becoming more complex, less focused on spending and legislation and more on integrated approaches to problems that leverage what exists, what can be combined, and what information underpins decision-making by governments and citizens. In this course, participants will be encouraged to look beyond their current set of tools and explore different instruments for implementing policy. They will understand the importance of appropriately identifying the issue and the objectives, and will be able to analyze a wide range of policy instruments. Structure and Expectations The course will draw on the experience of participants, and will include plenary discussions, group work, presentations and critiques. Participants will be asked to submit a brief description of a policy issue currently being considered in their Ministry. The facilitators will choose some of these current issues as exercises for small groups. Following the workshop, participants will be asked to provide analysis and recommendations on the range of policy instruments that could be considered for a current policy issue in their Ministry.
