Foundational knowledge on the development, implementation and evaluation of global health policy is critical to improve population health. How is policy formulated in different settings? Who sets the policy agenda? Why do some issues get the attention of policy-makers, while other equally important issues fail to gain traction? And what approaches can be used to improve the chances of a particular policy being adopted and successfully implemented? Students will carry out a policy analysis on a policy issue of their choice, using the policy analysis approaches and tools presented in class. They will develop a political strategy for the implementation of a policy and propose a plan for the effective implementation and evalation of the policy. They will present the work to a policy maker and receive feedback and guidance from experts in the field.
