Policy, systems and environment (PSE) change differs greatly from programs. PSE change is sustainable throughout time while programs are temporary. The two approaches can work hand-in-hand, but PSE change seeks to go beyond programming and into the systems that create the structures in which we live, learn, work, pray and play.
