The three types of public policy are distributive, regulatory and re-distributive. They are all related with decision making process.
| Points of Difference | Development Policy | Public Policy |
|---|---|---|
| Focus | Primarily on economic, social, and human development. | Broader, covering a wide range of issues affecting the public. |
| Goals | Oriented towards sustainable economic growth, poverty reduction, and improving living standards. | Diverse, including public safety, social justice, economic regulation, and more. |
| International Scope | Often has an international dimension, involving global partnerships and foreign aid, especially in developing countries. | May have international aspects but is not necessarily focused on global development. |
| Sectors | Encompasses various sectors, including economic development, education, healthcare, infrastructure, and environmental sustainability. | Spans a broad spectrum, covering education, healthcare, transportation, law enforcement, foreign relations, social welfare, and more. |
