Explain the meaning of the term ‘Policy’. Explain the linkage between policy and planning. 

Policy is a course of action or set of principles adopted by a government, organization, or individual to guide decision-making and achieve specific goals or outcomes. Policies can be formal or informal, written or unwritten, and can cover a range of areas such as social, economic, environmental, and political issues. Policies are usually developed in response to a particular problem or issue and aim to provide a framework for decision-making, resource allocation, and implementation.

Policy and planning are interdependent and complementary processes. Policy provides the overarching framework and direction for planning, while planning is the process of identifying specific actions and resources needed to achieve the policy goals and objectives. Policy is usually developed at a higher level of government or organizational hierarchy, while planning is done at lower levels and focuses on implementation.
