Dear FOI Team,

I currently have a research interested in describing the different policy approval processes in the government.

As my first step, I want to find out the policy approval process of other National Government Agencies (NGAs) that formulates policies in the country. Doing so will provide me an overview of the similarities, variances, and best practices in policy making process of each NGA.

With this, may I request to have a workflow/protocol of the policy approval process in this Department?

Thank you!
