QUESTION 1 "Policy analysis is a technique used in public administration to enable public servants to examine and evaluate the available options to implement the goals of elected officials. It has been defined as the process of "determining which of various policies will achieve a given set of goals" in light of the relations between the policies and the goals. The policy-making process is based on certain policy analysis models." Discuss these policy analysis models indicating the relevance and importance of these models to the policy-making process.

South Africa was also provided the opportunity to break away from the boundaries of isolation and to re-enter the global village. Reforms of such a magnitude inevitably leads to change and transformation in almost all spheres of government and administration, and consequently public policy. This in itself placed a much heavier burden on policy makers, and consequently those involved in the assessment of policies, because national policy to facilitate transformation and change, now also has to align with international global requirements and demands. For public institutions to survive, grow productively and render quality services to the public, the ability to effectively formulate policies for change and on a continuous basis also assess or analyse such policy initiatives, is of paramount importance. This would imply that awareness, knowledge and skills are needed at all levels in order to implement sound policies and 'make change happen". A better understanding of the public policy-making process, the stakeholders involved, as well as the role and responsibilities of those involved in policy assessment could ensure a greater degree of professionalism when public policies are formulated and the implementation of such policies considered." In the light of this quotation, discuss the role of the various stakeholders in the process of policy-making. (50 marks)
