Course ID

Course Description

Civil society plays an increasingly active role in policy implementation. Non-governmental organizations, non-profits, advocacy organizations, and similar groups provide research and analysis to inform policy makers; sit on advisory boards; represent the public interest in rule-making and planning exercises; directly deliver services and implement programs; and monitor and evaluate government programs. As a result, students planning future careers as public servants are likely to work closely with civil society organizations, and students planning future careers with non-profit organizations are likely to spend time working with government agencies. This course prepares students to work effectively across sectors in the policy implementation process.
