problem do we have? How do we assess this problem? Which

consequences can be derived from this

2. Policy development Options for action and possibilities of

implementation: Which alternative solutions are there in viewof which objectives? Which options for action do we have?

3. Assurance Methods and ways of implementing the chosen strategies in

politics and practice: Who will do what including management,

implementation, evaluation and information? Which institutions and actors

are involved? Which structural conditions and/or framework conditions must

be ensured at which levels?
