Policy Analysis: What it actually means?
Policy analysis evaluates existing or proposed policies to determine whether they are effective, efficient, equitable and feasible, and to recommend better alternatives. Consultants gather evidence, model economic and social impacts, consider legal and stakeholder constraints, and present options with costs and benefits clearly stated. This is often used by governments, regulators, NGOs or corporates engaging in public policy to make defensible, transparent decisions. A well-structured policy analysis links recommendations to measurable outcomes and implementation steps, making it much easier for decision-makers to act.
