Abstract: Key messages: Rapid policy actions have to build on existing systems and therefore, the quality of established policy and delivery systems is an important determinant of success. Three broad features of policy systems — adaptability, coherence and coordination, and efficacy — contribute to the success of public policies. Policy system efficacy requires state capacity for administrative efficiency and appropriate enforcement, as well as citizen trust in government. Rolling out and scaling up innovations during crises depends on an underlying business environment that enables decision-making and experimentation in partnership with the private sector.; Policymakers must balance critical trade-offs among policy actions and spending priorities for health, food systems, and economies. This requires a multisectoral perspective and clearly defined values.
