Abstract
Education Reform Support (ERS) is a six-volume series that creates an operational framework through which educational reform initiatives, particularly in Africa, can (1) counterbalance the political interests that can deter reform, (2) build the capacities of diverse actors to participate in the policy process, (3) foster the role of information in policy making, and (4) create networks and coalitions that support continued and productive policy dialogue. Volume 5 lays out in detail the specific design steps for launching a major level of support to an ERS process. Annexes contain instruments for assessing country readiness for participatory policy reform, assessing stakeholder institutional problems, analyzing interest-group pressure, and identifying skills needed for long-term technical advisers to ERS projects.
