Assistance has for a long time neglected or seriously underestimated the importance of institutional context **for and** embeddedness of reforms.
I'm having trouble with the bit between **.
I'd either go for:
1)take off "for": institutional context and embeddedness of reforms
2)maybre "and" is a typo for "an": context for an embeddedness of reforms.
What d'you guys think?

institutional context for reforms and embeddedness of reforms
Simply a way of keeping the right prepositions without writing out the sentence the way I did above. Not a typo.

I think you are right
but you may want to ask the person who wrote the text just to make sure

eliminate the 'for'
As was suggested by another responder 'the context for reforms and the embeddedness of reforms’ is the gist.
However, ‘the context and the embeddedness of reforms’ is more economical. ‘The context of something’ is also correct and the one ‘of’ says it all.

two typos??
Another possibility:
...the importance of THE institutional context AND embeddedness of reforms"
if the general context suggests they can be linked/parallel aspects.
"Embeddedness" sounds terrible to me too!
