Kenya Youth Development Policy 2019
No full textThis Kenya Youth Development Policy 2019 highlights the importance of youth in the development of Kenya and the country's Big Four Agenda, Vision 2030, and Sustainable Development Goals. The policy places an obligation on the youth to be productive, patriotic, and active participants in society. The development of a Kenyan Youth Development Index is proposed to track and measure the impact of initiatives, programs, projects, and activities. The policy was developed through inclusive consultative and participatory processes involving youth partners and stakeholders. The author acknowledges and thanks various individuals, groups, and organizations for their contributions to the successful formulation of the policy. Finally, the author calls for continued support in the implementation, monitoring, reviews, and reporting of impact of the policy

Policy Learning and Policy Failure: Definitions, Dimensions and Intersections (chapter)
Get PDFThis is the author accepted manuscript. The final version is available from Policy Press via the link in this recordPolicy failures present a valuable opportunity for policy learning, but public
officials often fail to learn valuable lessons from these experiences. The studies in this volume
investigate this broken link. This introduction defines policy learning and failure, and then
organises the main studies in these fields along the key dimensions of: processes, products and
analytical levels. We continue with an overview of the special issue articles, outlining where
they sit in the wider literature and how they link learning and failure. We conclude sketching a
research agenda linking policy scholars with policy practice.European CommissionBritish Counci
How to reduce household carbon emissions: A review of experience and policy design considerations
No full textGlobal warming and environment problems caused by the excessive emission of greenhouse gases (GHGs), along with rapid economic development has attracted the attention of many countries and regions of the world. Reducing GHG emissions is essential to mitigate the threat of global warming. Household carbon (dioxide) emissions have been recognized as one of the most important contributors to climate change, with a significant impact on both the local and global environment, and various policy instruments have been implemented by governments to bring about the reduction. This paper reviews these carbon abatement policy measures from demand-side and supply-side perspectives based on 144 countries across the world. The advantages and disadvantages of the policies are analyzed and it is found that income level largely affects the choice of policy, with high-income countries being mostly associated with demand-side policy instruments. Low-income countries adopt less demand-side policy measures and mainly depend on supply-side polices such as targets and regulations. Geographic location is also an important factor influencing the choice of policy instruments due to the different climates between different regions, although targets, regulations and carbon taxes are dominant GHG reduction policy measures worldwide. In America, tendering and net metering are popular, while in Europe feed-in-tariff (FIT) policies are implemented for more than 70% of the time. In Asia, policy measures, whether supply-side or demand-side, are comparatively weakly implemented and influenced by location, urbanization and economic growth. This paper suggests that, although the economic level is different, low-income countries and particularly developing countries can promote carbon abatement as well as the financial market by gradually changing from supply-side policy instruments to demand-side policies. This critical review provides a systematic understanding of various carbon emission policies in different countries and regions worldwide, which will provide significant assistance for the development of policies to reduce household carbon emissions.Environment and Conservation Fund - HKSAR Depts.

Beyond closing the gap: valuing diversity in Indigenous Australia
Get PDFIn his Apology speech the Prime Minister attempted to balance the symbolic with the practical while emphasising that ‘business as usual’ is not working. Ultimately though, the \u27Closing the Gap\u27 approach is business as usual that fails to value Indigenous difference and fails to accommodate Indigenous aspirations in all their diversity. Unless we get beyond CTG, the next phase in Indigenous policy making and program investments is as ‘destined to fail’ as previous approaches. This paper advocates for the pendulum to swing back, to accommodate and value diversity and difference rather than just statistical equality. In doing so, the author provides some reflexive comment as an academic on these policy swings. In 2005, Tim Rowse and Jon Altman wrote a piece on Indigenous policy that contrasted the contending approaches of economics and anthropology to Indigenous affairs policy: the first emphasising equality of socioeconomic outcomes, the second the facilitation of choice and self-determination. The former implies integration, the latter adherence to different and diverse life worlds. Over time, the author has used economics and official statistics to highlight socioeconomic disadvantage and neglect, while at the same time using anthropology to critique any approach that uses mainstream social indicators that only reflect the dominant society’s social norms. This paper will continue in the same vein using a dual disciplinary approach. However, without being over-reflexive, as an anthropologist of development he is clearly uncomfortable with the current dominance of the \u27Closing the Gap\u27 framework. This paper was presented at the Centre for Public Policy\u27s \u27Values & Public Policy\u27 conference in February 2009. Jon Altman is Professor and the inaugural Director of the Centre for Aboriginal Economic Policy Research established in 1990. He is currently researching Indigenous development and economic hybridity as ARC Australian Professorial Fellow. 
Pathologies of Policy Learning: What Are They and How Do They Contribute to Policy Failure? (chapter)
No full textThis is the author accepted manuscript. The final version is available from Policy Press via the link in this recordWe analyse policy failure as a degeneration of policy learning. Analytically, we drill down on
one type – epistemic learning. This is the realm of evidenced-based policymaking (EBPM),
where experts advise decision-makers on issues of technical complexity. Empirically, we
present the management of bovine tuberculosis (BTB) in England since 1997 as a failure of
epistemic learning. Drawing on elite interviews and documentary analysis, weaknesses in
government’s management of its relationship with an epistemic community are analysed as
problems of learning about different aspects of organisational capacity. We conclude
discussing the value of learning theories as conceptual lenses for policy failure.European CommissionBritish Counci
