93 words
The choices of the maize policies are political decisions made
by elected officials in the political arena, yet it affects the overall
maize industry. This study will model how decision are made in
the political arena and how such decisions are affected by changes
in political and macro-economic variables. Such knowledge would
enable prediction of future direction of policy and assist
researchers to come up with policy options that have a high
chance of adoption within the political cycles. Potential entry
points for research evidence into the policy process will also be
identified.
