PTKT1117 — Development Policy EP25.PTKT1117

The Development Policy course is designed as a core disciplinary course for students majoring in International Development and also serves as an important elective for other economics-related programs. Grounded in Development Economics, the course provides students with fundamental knowledge of development policy, including its role within the development planning system, policy content, and the full policy cycle from problem identification to implementation, monitoring, and evaluation.

The course emphasizes the application of policy analysis frameworks and analytical tools throughout the policy process, enabling students to analyze real-world development policies in Vietnam and internationally. Through lectures, seminars, case studies, and group discussions, students develop policy analysis skills, critical thinking, teamwork, and evidence-based decision-making capacity relevant to development practice in a global context.
