Abstract
The purpose of policy research is to enable policy makers and officials to formulate sound policies to address areas within society that require much needed intervention including the economy. It should also enable the provision of adequate information that allows for appropriate conceptualisation of intervention programmes by indicating why certain things are or are not happening.-
