Guideline for Policy Makers

5. Pilot Implementation

Any action needs to be tested under normal conditions. Despite the given experience in the field, there is no magical solution to every situation. It is important to pre-evaluate your strategy in a limited number of beneficiaries in order to calibrate its performance.

Select a representative number of schools. The number should be limited so that the whole process will give quantitative results after a limited time.
Follow your pilot implementation of the plan into the selected schools for a period of 40 days. Although the time is not adequate, some results will be available.
Organize a closed workshop with selected school directors in order to get information on the daily implementation of the plan
Define milestones and success thresholds that will be used in order to evaluate the strategy at a later stage.
