Implementation Stages

Implementation and scale-up are generally recognized as consisting of several stages of activities. The Active Implementation Frameworks (NIRN) refer to four stages of implementation: (1) Exploration, (2) Installation, (3) Initial Implementation, and (4) Full Implementation. Implementation support stages parallel these stages of implementation with four stages of implementation support (1) Readiness & Exploration, (2) Interactive Capacity Development, (3) Supported Performance, and (4) Local Regulation. https://nirn.fpg.unc.edu/module-4/topic-1-implementation-stages-overview...
