What is Policy Formulation?
Policy formulation is the process by which
governments and other organizations develop policies
that guide decision-making and action.
Policy Formulation Process
Agenda-setting: The first stage of policy formulation involves identifying issues that require attention
and setting priorities.
Policy Development: The second stage involves developing policy proposals that address the issues
identified during agenda-setting.
Adoption: Once policy proposals have been developed, they must be adopted by the appropriate decision-
making bodies.
Implementation: The final stage of policy formulation involves implementing policies and monitoring
their impact.
Importance
Policies are important because they define what is, and is not
acceptable in the organization. When created in the right way,
they will ensure that all activities undertaken in the
organization occur with the simple aim of ensuring the
organization achieves its objectives
Principles
1) It must be specific, clear, easy and simple.
2) It should be flexible so that it can adapt to changing circumstances. But it should also be stable.
3) It must consider internal factors
4) It may be written or verbal.
5) It must reflect the objective of the company.
6) There should be a line of communication in the implementation cell.
7) There should be evaluation at certain intervals.
8) There should be coordination among all the policies. It must not be contradictory with each other.
9) A policy should relate one objective with other.
10) One policy should be complementary with each other. (Adopting traditional vs inventing new.)
11) Policies should be based on justifiability and honesty.
12) Policies should be clearly explained to staff. Objective must be clear so that they
help implement.
