On January 29, 1991, about 100 policymakers from Guatemala's public and private sectors held a national conference on the role of girls' education in the nation's development. The conference was sponsored by USAID/Guatemala and was the fruit of a 2-year study of the issue. This report documents the process of planning the national conference and summarizes its principal lessons. An initial section explains USAID/Guatemala's role in education, why it undertook exploratory research on girls' education, and the results of that research, including the fact that Guatemalan data confirmed research findings elsewhere on the strong impact of girls' primary education on social and economic development. A second section details how the Mission planned the conference, including the assumptions it made (e.g., the power of policymakers to effect systemwide changes), the constraints it encountered (e.g., limited funding, Guatemalan biases against girls' education), and key planning strategies (e.g., treating girls' education strictly as a vehicle of economic development, avoiding controversial equity issues, and referring to the education of "girls" rather than of "women").
