Public policies are actions taken by authorities (central or local) in response to problems that come from society. In other words, public policy is when a public, central or local authority proposes, with the help of a coordinated action program, to modify the economic, social and cultural environment of the social actors. At national level, public policies can emerge from any of the major state institutions (Parliament, President, Government, central or local authorities).

The process of developing public policy is characterized by the fact that it represents, on the one hand, an analytical process (solving a problem) and, on the other hand, a political process. Public Policies consists of a set of measures, actions, regulations designed and implemented to address issues of citizens' interest. These are usually formulated and then implemented by executive authorities at the local or central level. In Romania the formalization of public policy-making was initiated by the Government Center (the General Secretariat of the Government).

• Parliament - represents the legislative forum;
• The Legislative Council - a specific structure of the Parliament that provides legislative drafts to systematize, unify and coordinate the entire legislation and officially update the Romanian legislation;
• Cabinet of the Prime Minister;
• The General Secretariat of the Government (SGG) - structure within the Government, which has the responsibility to ensure the development of the technical operations involved in the governance process and to solve the organizational, legal, economic and technical problems of the governmental activity. SGG has authority to observe the procedures related to the preparation, drafting, filing and presentation of legislative drafts submitted to the Government, as well as procedures for the acceptance of these projects through its specialized structure, the Public Policy Directorate. The functioning of these institutions / structures is determined by specific normative acts that also contain a statement on the policy formulation process in Romania.
• Public policy units (UPPs) at the level of ministries - structures without legal personality established at the level of ministries and other specialized bodies of the central public administration that initiate draft normative acts by order of the head of the institution.
• Permanent Interministerial Councils - which ensure the coherence of the substantiation and implementation of government policies in the field.
