This first annex presents a basic checklist of steps that should be completed to implement reform that incorporates the Modular Approach. The process should have three stages, all of them complementary, each of them with less value if considered individually. They should follow a predefined order. The first part of the sequence would be to conduct an assessment. Second, and based on the results of the assessment, a drafting stage would be initiated. Third, following approval of the reform, an implementation stage would be commenced. Each part of the process is equally important, and, surprising as it might be, the seemingly more ancillary stages (assessment and implementation) usually take longer and require the most resources.
