to understand and influence policy and engage the policy making process.
I learned that I'm important in the public policy process and those who make decisions are accountable to me! I have the power to speak, to ask, to organize around the issues that I'm concerned about.
The Public Policy Project
The Public Policy Project works with communities, institutions and individuals to provide an understanding of public policy and its importance. We teach how policy works, who decides, and how the decisions made today will help or hurt you tomorrow. Knowledge is power!
Principles
Our work is based on three principles:
- Direct involvement of those impacted by decisions in the identification of issues and development of proposed solutions.
- Direct participation of those impacted in the decision-making, implementation and management of the policies and programs that serve them.
- Transparency of decision-making, financial and programmatic accountability by the organizations and institutions serving those impacted.
