Details

The Policy System Framework covers four main pillars: 

  • inputs and resources
  • practices and processes
  • people and relationships
  • culture, and context

For each pillar, the framework sets out the respective components with descriptors, designed for those who are applying the framework to their own policy system to support capability-building.
