Overview

What are the conditions that allow for successful implementation, at scale, of proven global health interventions? What are the barriers to and blockers of implementation and how can they be addressed and overcome? What are the recognized (and unrecognized) success stories in global health, and what can we learn from past successes? Policy implementation science has advanced to the point where descriptive explanations are no longer enough, and prescriptive norms can identified and generalized.
