Also in the preparation of the policy related reports our office would be sending the draft documents for comment to various ministries to (a) inform them of the content and (b) to seek their views as to how best to describe current policies of the government. IFA is also available to inform the government on the policies and practices in various countries but does not express its views on national policies. | ||||||||
