Abstract:

The process of increasing the skills, resources, and mechanisms at the human, organizational, and societal levels in order to successfully formulate, analyze, and implement public policies is referred to as capacity development for policy analysis and formulation. The training of individuals in analytical and strategic thinking, the provision of organizations with the necessary resources such as data and technology, and the establishment of an atmosphere that is conducive to the formulation of policies are all included in this. The end result of this process is that it improves coordination, leadership, and the general capacity to manage complicated challenges, which ultimately leads to more effective policy decisions and better outcomes.
