Enactment alone doesn’t ensure that a policy will be successful. Additional steps may be needed to implement the policy in a way that can increase the likelihood the policy will achieve its intended outcomes.
The implementing organization and stakeholders may:
Educate the people or organizations affected by the new policy
Change pre-existing administrative operations and systems (or create new ones)
Monitor and/or enforce the policy as needed
Keep the desired outcomes in mind.
Before implementation starts, everyone needs to be clear about the
goals of the policy.
Identify resources that can help you implement the policy.
This can include necessary funding, staffing, and
infrastructure.
Define who is involved and who does what during
implementation.
Plan who will be involved in implementation and what their roles
and responsibilities will be. Specifically, you want to
identify:
The individual or organization that will lead implementation of the policy
Roles and responsibilities of partners and stakeholders
Opportunities and processes for collaboration
Current policies to ensure they are not in conflict with the new policy
