The intent of policies and programmes
Are the 3Rs part of the specific aims and objectives of the policy or programme?
Who made the decision? What was the discourse/reaction around this?
Are different groups specifically aimed at? Which ones?
The design
How was the policy/type of programme chosen?
What provisions did the state or programme designers put in place to ensure that the aims and objectives of the policy or programme can be achieved?
How were the specific provisions chosen?
Who was engaged/instrumental in the design? – Actors within and across policy areas, different sectors, groups, etc.
How did the different actors engage?
What barriers did they encounter, how did they overcome these?
How did they choose whom to engage with?
The implementation
How are the provisions implemented in real life?
What or who are barriers, how are they overcome?
What works well?
Who is instrumental in ensuring good implementation?
How are the policies and programmes financed/resourced?
Are these financing/resourcing models sustainable?
What is the discourse around the financing and resourcing?
The outcomes
What are the achievements with respect to the 3Rs?
Do they match the stated intent? (The evaluation against the stated intent will inform our “what works” question)
Are the outcomes/achievements the same across different groups, or do experiences differ dependent on age/life cycle stage…?
