Context for Policy Action Plan
When developing a Policy Action Plan, planners need to also consider
1. Who will be interested in this policy change?
– Who are the clients/ constituents / beneficiaries of this policy change?
• Minister? Farmers groups? Private sector?
2. Who will you report back to in order to carry policy actions forward? Who will “champion” the policy action?
3. Do you need to do something to create more “demand” for your team’s policy engagement?
