Policy Outcomes in Public Administration

Question One

Energy consumption refers to the way a machine consumes fuel when on the road. This is

measurable through the amount of fuel an engine consumes for a given distance or for working

for a given period. Some engines are fuel efficient, and as such consume very little fuel and

produce a high level of output. On the other hand, some engines are not fuel-efficient and

consume copious amounts of energy or fuel when in operation. As such, energy consumption

refers to the rate of usage of fuel or a given source of energy whenever an engine is operating,

especially for vehicles. The amount of energy is measurable in relations to the number of miles

covered during the time the engine was running. Program expenditure refers to the amount of

capital that goes in into the effective implementation of a given project or program. For instance,

this refers to the capital volumes spend in initiating a policy, such as field surveys and

boardroom meetings that lead to the formulation of a given policy, such as the 55-mph (Menzel

& White, 2011).

Equality of educational opportunity refers to the requirement that all persons in the

society get access to the right levels of educational opportunities. No one should lose an

opportunity to get access to quality education during his or her lifetime. All people are equal and

as such stand an equal opportunity to get access to good education. All people at all ages have to

be educated as well as become empowered through the level of education that they receive either

formal or informal. Formal education usually comes from schools and other learning institutions.

However, informal education comes through life experiences and apprenticeships. However, all

persons should get access to quality education, especially the formal education because it

empowers and enlightens their lives (Olowu & Sako, 2002).

Question Two

The ruling elite and government face serious problems in attending to certain policy

problems such as inflation, energy crisis, crime, racial discrimination, work alienation, as well as

fiscal crisis. The ruling government should therefore deduce polices as well as come up with

proper measuring and evaluation procedures in order to contain these policies as well as ensure

their successful achievement. A number of state actors alongside the government usually

intervene in resolving these problems in order to eliminate the problems that they may bring

about to the common citizens. However, there are a number of indicators that would reveal

government participation in the elimination of these problems, and as such, all state actors should

reconsider them whenever evaluating the effectiveness of the implementation procedures. This

includes a forecast on government-sponsored activities as well as looking at the financial outlay

of each of the policy indices (Basu, 2004).

Poverty is a state of people staying in deplorable living conditions as well as being unable

to attend to their personal as well as their dependants’ needs, both physically and emotionally,
