    Policy is like, again, the proverbial elephant…
    Policy for Policy Analysts

    • It is also difficult to determine what policy is


    because people may say one thing, but then do
    something else.

    • One definition of policy is that it is what


    organizations say they will do—but what we are
    more interested in is what they actually do
    (Pasteur, 2001).
    Policy for Policy Analysts

    • Policy provides the direction for decisions made


    or actions taken, especially within government.

    • However, it can be difficult to determine just


    what policy is.
    Policy for Policy Analysts

    • Policy is not just what is written. Some policies


    are unwritten—they are more of a “practice” or
    the way things have been done for a long time.

    • Policy is not static—it keeps moving and


    changing. Even how people make decisions
    may change. The ways people make decisions
    change.
    Policy Processes

    • Policy processes can refer to the processes of


    making policies and decision-making—
    processes that shape the way issues are
    thought and talked about, as well as the way by
    which issues are put on the agenda.
    Policy Processes

    • It can also refer to the processes of defining


    problems or goals, coming up with policy
    solutions or choices, and implementing these.

    • That is, policy processes are not just about


    producing statements or declarations, but also
    about implementation and review.
    GROWING COMPLEXITY IN POLICY
    PROCESSES TODAY

    In today’s context, policy processes are growing more


    complex, with policy processes on land issues being no
    exception.

    • Globalization. Decisions are increasingly taken by


    outside forces, and their impacts are increasingly
    externalized. Capital flows all over the world, but
    people cannot move in the same way i.e., free flow
    of goods and capital.
    • V.U.C.A. (volatility, uncertainty, complexity, and
    ambiguity)
    • Rise of institutions that are faceless and
    more complex. It is very difficult to pinpoint
    accountability and responsibility with
    corporations. Accountability is less direct; there
    are more layers of decision-making and more
    complex relationships.
    • From landlord–tenant to investment
    relationships. In the past, relationships were
    simple, such as tenant vs. landlord. You could
    bring the tenant to talk to the landlord.
    However, today, relationships are more
    complex in structure, accordingly making policy
    processes more complex.
    NEW OPPORTUNITIES IN POLICY-MAKING

    • Decentralization in some countries

    • New communications technologies

    • New norms of citizenship and civil society


    POLICY PROCESSES ARE POLITICAL
    • Changing or influencing policy is a political
    process. Policies can include or exclude the
    interests and perspectives of poor people.

    • Different stakeholders have different agenda


    for the same policy.

    • The agenda and process of how you engage


    policy will depend on your position and level of
    influence. What is important is that while you
    have an advocacy, you must still present
    sound evidence.
