Our policy continuum


Our approach to local policy recognizes that systemic change is a cyclical process beginning with assessment and community engagement and progressing towards policy implementation and evaluation. This is represented in a circular diagram, with each stage of the continuum building on previous stages and their accompanying strategies and activities. This approach recognizes that real-world policymaking is not a linear process and that these stages are dynamic and often intersect.
