How many proven effective public health projects have you been involved in that have been scaled-up to have national – or even global – impact? Those of us working in this field know it’s all too rare for an intervention to catch on and spread like wildfire. Rather, most successful interventions fizzle out when project funds dry up or donor interest is gone.

So, what can we do to increase the chances that an effective intervention is adopted? At FHI 360, we are trying to answer this question using the USAID-funded Strengthening Multisectoral Nutrition Programming through Implementation Science Activity (MSNP) as the foundation for two new multisectoral research studies.
