Long term planning for EFA and the MDGs: modes & mechanisms (pdf 470kb)

This paper provides an overview and analytic guide to long term planning of education systems in the context of Education for All (EFA) and the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs).

It also outlines three different styles of long term planning: Planning Lite, Framework National Planning, and Participatory Planning and distinguishes between aspirational and target-generating approaches.

The paper highlights that without longer term planning, which is updated systematically and linked coherently to future needs, it will remain difficult to achieve sustained growth in participation.
