PREREQUISITES
There are no prerequisites for this programme. Prior knowledge on any of the topics is not required.
Overview
Participants will learn about how problems for which policy responses may be required (whether legal or otherwise) are identified. This involves triangulating and evaluating multiple sources of information gathered using a variety of tools, such as data and stakeholder engagement. Participants will then learn about responding to the identified problems and translating policy intent into the design of legislative or regulatory frameworks. We will look at balancing competing policy and regulatory objectives, the range of tools and interventions available to achieve desired objectives (of which law and regulations are part of other options), and common legal and regulatory principles pertaining to legislative and regulatory interventions. Finally, participants will look at evaluating the impact of the changes made so as to ascertain effectiveness of the interventions. We will also look at how the concepts and methodologies covered in the earlier parts of the course could apply in other contexts and translate to benefits for practitioners.

At the end of the 2-day module, participants will be able to:
Explain the policy cycle leading to the making of laws and regulations
