ABSTRACT
Aims of the chapter
To identify policy problems.
To understand the nature of development policy and the contexts in which it is made.
To analyse development policy in its different aspects and to formulate policy recommendations from a human development perspective.
To exercise one’s creativity.
When analysing a policy problem and seeking to address it from a human development perspective, some key questions have to be borne in mind: Key Points
What is the problem that the policy seeks to address? What are the relevant data and information that need to be collected to highlight the problem?
What is being done to address the problem?
Does the existing policy respect the four human development principles of equity, empowerment, efficiency and sustainability?
In what ways could the current policy be reformed so that it promotes valuable freedoms more effectively? In other words, how can policy respect key human development principles more fully?
