Policy processes - Ways to improve health

This paper discusses the key processes that are involved in policy formulation and implementation. It highlights the types and levels of intervention in the policy process that might lead to stronger and more effective health policies both in wider policy context and in more specific health policies. The policy process does not follow a linear or cyclical path, rather it is a result of processes, sometimes simultaneous, that are all subject to influence by players in government, private and non-governmental sectors. This paper sets out some of these processes and shows how policy is defmed, formulated and implemented, illustrated with examples.
