I agree that “Dark age mitigation” is a very neglected area; but I am not so sure about “Dark age prevention”. Governments and scholars are often concerned about long-term stable growth, even outside EA.
In addition, I wonder what a general policy aiming at “minimising the length of Dark Ages and leading to a faster Renaissance” would look like. If it were in Asimov’s Foundation style, it’d likely be secret (specially if you are concerned about world war scenarios).
