„The aims of these guidelines are to help these people to:

1. Understand essential subject-matter knowledge on OER through a learning-by-doing process
2. Develop a set of procedural knowledge on OER policy planning, working through key steps necessary for designing a comprehensive OER policy
3. Reinforce the contextual knowledge needed to leverage OER in achieving SDG 4 through assessing the policy context and needs for OER, planning institutionalised programmes and drawing up a contextualised masterplan
4. Ensure the commitment to policy adoption and implementation through integrating stakeholder engagement into the policy-planning process and determining adequate policy endorsement and implementation strategies
5. Enhance the quality of policy implementation by planning a mechanism for monitoring and evaluation, and working towards an evidence-based policy-planning and updating cycle.“
