From Boothroyd et al. (2017), this term applies to processes that enhance effective local implementation success. Partnership processes benefitting key stakeholders focus on and include: active and involved listening and relationship building, addressing system barriers, establishing culturally relevant systems and supports, ensuring meaningful local involvement in implementation support activities, and ongoing communications / feedback for continuous learning and quality improvement. AICP’s help to ensure and support agency administrative, day-to-day and cross-agency functions in service to effective implementation teaming.
