A quick definition of policy:

A policy is a set of rules or guidelines that help a government or organization make decisions and take action. It's like a map that shows the way to do things in the best possible way. Policies can be made by different people or groups, and they help to make sure that everyone is working towards the same goals. Policymaking is a process that involves identifying problems, setting goals, making decisions, and evaluating the results.

A more thorough explanation:

A policy is a set of rules or principles that guide a government or organization in making decisions and taking action. It helps them to govern effectively and achieve their goals.

For example, a school might have a policy that all students must wear uniforms. This rule guides the school in maintaining a certain level of discipline and professionalism among its students.

Another example is a government policy to reduce carbon emissions. This policy guides the government in taking action to address climate change and protect the environment.

Policymaking is a process that involves identifying a problem, setting goals, making decisions, and evaluating the results. It is an ongoing cycle that helps organizations and governments to adapt to changing circumstances and achieve their objectives.
