What role does ‘policy impact assessment’ play in initiating subsequent policy cycles ?
It provides empirical feedback on policy outcomes, identifying gaps and emerging needs to inform future policy revisions
The policy cycle describes policy-making as a series of stages: agenda setting, formulation, adoption, implementation, evaluation (impact assessment) and then revision or termination, which feeds into a new cycle.
Policy impact assessment examines what a policy actually achieved – its effects on access, quality, learning outcomes and equity – using evidence. By showing where the policy worked, where it fell short and what new needs have emerged, it supplies the feedback that sets the agenda for the next round of policy-making.
It does not end state involvement in policy design; it does not freeze original objectives – it is precisely what allows them to be revised; and it is not limited to auditing financial receipts, because it looks at educational quality and social equity as well.
Thus impact assessment links one policy cycle to the next through empirical feedback.
Hence, the answer is It provides empirical feedback on policy outcomes, identifying gaps and emerging needs to inform future policy revisions.
