Participation Junction produces weekly Policy updates which provide Civil Society Organisations with the latest information on specific policies, laws or programmes being implemented by Government. It includes which level of Government is dealing with the issue (Cabinet, Department, etc) and in which phase of development it is, for example, whether it is a draft Bill or a White Paper. The contact details of a public official responsible for the development of the policy/legislation are also included so that subscribers are able to pursue direct contact with him/her.
