Policy Brief Specifications
“A policy brief is a concise summary of a particular issue, the
policy options to deal with it, and some recommendations on the
best option. It is aimed at government policymakers and others who
are interested in formulating or influencing policy. A policy brief
should provide enough background for the reader to understand the
problem, convince the reader that the problem must be addressed
urgently, provide information about alternatives (in an objective
brief), provide evidence to support one alternative (in an advocacy
brief) and stimulate the reader to make a decision”. Policy briefs
may give objective summaries of relevant research, suggest possible
policy options, or go even further and argue for particular courses
of action (Massell, 2000)
