ABSTRACT
Program/Policy Implementation (implementing Stage 5 plans); and Evaluating and Providing Feedback
to Users and Stakeholders (implementing Stage 6 plans).
At this point, the program or policy is ready to be launched. Ideally, all six stages of plan-
ning should be completed prior to the initial start date for the intervention. We recognize,
however, that time constraints imposed on the planning process may result in less than
optimal programdesigns and action plans. Nonetheless, at this stage, for the first time, our
program or policy takes on life. While planning and reviewing is a continuous process, we
now begin doing what we have planned.
