Public Policies are principles guiding the actions of a governmental body to achieve certain outcomes in society. Coursera's Public Policies catalogue teaches you the art and science of policy-making, implementation, and evaluation. You'll learn about different types of public policies including social, economic, and foreign policies, the policy-making process, the role of governmental and non-governmental organizations in policy making. It also empowers you with tools and methods for policy analysis, understanding the impact of public policies on society, and strategies for effective policy advocacy. This knowledge can be instrumental in roles within government, non-profit organizations, corporate social responsibility teams, or as a concerned citizen aiming for societal improvement.
