The Policy Environment Score 2000: Measuring the Policy Environment for Family Planning in Egypt Mona Khalifa, Manal El Feki, John Ross, (July 2001)  Full Document (English)      Order for free      email to me  The Policy Environment Score (PES) is intended to measure the degree to which the policy environment supports the reproductive health of the population, with particular focus on access to high quality family planning and reproductive health services. It is designed to reflect both the current level of support and the changes that take place over a one to three year period as a result of policy activities. The POLICY Project has developed a prototype questionnaire to offer to each interested country, with the understanding that local adaptations would often be desirable. That was the case in Egypt, and considerable thought was given to the particular items of the questionnaire. The PES instrument has now been used 5 times in Egypt (1996, 1997, 1998, 1999 and 2000).
