Join the Global Policymaking Community
The Global Policymaking Community is an online space for policy practitioners worldwide to explore, develop, and implement flexible policies that adapt to changing needs and disruptions.
Event Description
Policymaking is the cornerstone of government. It’s how ideas turn into actions that improve society. But what does the process actually involve?
In this back-to-basics masterclass, our experts will break down the policymaking process—step-by-step. From defining problems to implementing solutions, you’ll uncover how evidence, competing priorities and context drive decisions. We’ll also explore how stronger collaboration between policy and non-policy roles can lead to better outcomes for all.
Join to connect with peers, ask questions and reflect on how policymaking intersects with your role in public service.
