Public Policy Transformation to Improve Community Welfare

Abstract

The transformation of public policy represents a comprehensive process of adaptation and innovation that seeks to enhance the quality of life and societal welfare in a sustainable manner. It encompasses not only the creation of entirely new policies but also the continuous improvement of existing frameworks to ensure their relevance in addressing evolving social, economic, and technological dynamics. This process relies heavily on participatory engagement, evidence-based decision-making, and governance systems capable of responding quickly to emerging challenges. Using a literature review approach, this study analyzes peer-reviewed journal articles published last five years to examine prevailing trends, effective strategies, and persistent challenges in public policy transformation. The results highlight technology integration, strengthened governance structures, and cross-sector collaboration as essential drivers of success. Nonetheless, significant barriers remain, including bureaucratic resistance, resource constraints, and unequal digital access. The study offers a conceptual framework to guide policymakers in designing inclusive, adaptive, and future-oriented strategies that deliver long-term positive impacts.
