Stories: Why Policy Matters

Policy work takes time. Much of the work takes place behind the scenes and, inherently, its outcomes are jointly owned by a wide range of stakeholders. As for the policies themselves—whether national-level legislation or clinical guidelines—the extent to which they affect positive change in communities is often not drawn in a straight line. For these reasons it is often difficult to demonstrate the impact of policy and policy work.

In 2020, HP+ launched its “Why Policy Matters” storytelling series. Using visual media, these stories give voice to the impact of policy action and convey how innovative policy approaches drive impact and sustained local leadership.
