Policy refers to a set of rules, guidelines, or principles that are established by an organization, government, or individual to guide decision-making and behavior. Policies are typically created to achieve specific objectives, address issues or concerns, and ensure consistency and fairness in various areas such as governance, management, operations, and social behavior. They can cover a wide range of topics, including but not limited to, public administration, economics, education, healthcare, environment, and social welfare. Policies can be implemented at different levels, such as national, regional, organizational, or personal, and can be enforced through laws, regulations, or internal procedures.
