Challenges and Issues in Public Policy-Making for Developing Countries

This study attempted to identify the issues and challenges in public policy-making for developing countries. Significantly, developing countries face problems and challenges in implementing public policy-making due to corruption, weak government regulation, lack of continuity in government policy, and a lack of human resources and instruments. Firm public-making policy can remove and reduce these issues and challenges for developing countries by implementing public policy rules and phases. This study analyzes six South Asian nations along with the parametric test and found significant outcomes in terms of total average corruption and percentage from it. Hence, Nepal has the highest average and the lowest average in Afghanistan in 2022. Otherwise, many developing countries have been grappling with structural vulnerabilities such as sticky social and economic inequalities, war and forced movement, declining trust in government, and environmental change. The main challenges in public policy-making and barriers to policy formation and implementation were industry interventions, resources, poor enforcement, and the absence of clear regulation. This study focused on reducing the problems and challenges for developing countries through the process of public policy-making, such as agenda setting, formulation of policy implementation, and evaluation.
