Abstract (if Available):

For many years, development assistance to foster sustainable economic growth and social infrastructure in developing nations, focused mainly on field projects, demonstrations, infrastructure investments, and capacity-building programs for various civic organizations (NGOs) and government ministries. However, over the last several decades, development practitioners have demonstrated an increasing appreciation for policy reform as a means to obtain far greater, and more enduring results and benefits.

This report reviews experience gained from creating and executing programs focused on designing, implementing,and assessing economic development-related policy reforms and strengthening the organizations engaged in policy work.It is intended as a practical guide for development professionals with operational responsibilities for policy reform, including their donor partners in government ministries, local as well as international NGOs, various affected parties, and donors and donor-funded policy advisors.
