Step 1. Identifying and analyzing the problemBefore writing the ordinance, it is essential for the drafter to be clear about what theproblem is and about how he/she is supposed to solve it. This requires the drafter todefine the policy problem by asking the following questions of the proponent:• What end is to be achieved?• What specific problems are involved?• What is the magnitude and extent of the problem?• What specific areas of existing ordinances or laws are unsound, inadequate orwill be affected by addressing the problem?This preliminary step to writing an ordinance is known as policy analysis or simplyproblem analysis. Policy analysis may be defined as a process of identifying thecauses and effects of a problem, generating and prioritizing possible alternatives orsolutions; and specifying which alternatives or options will bring about the maximumbenefit or gain for the least cost. Public policy, on the other hand, generally refers torules for action for addressing public problems and attaining societal goals.
