Promoting the implementation of evidence-based interventions is crucial to achieving impact. This requires strategies that address important determinants at each stage of the implementation process, including adoption, implementation, continuation, scaling up, and de-implementation. One important implementation strategy is creating interventions that can be adapted to unique contexts. This article describes the lessons learned from action-oriented research on the implementation strategies and outcomes of the Good Affordable Food programme. Our conclusion is that the implementation process requires a systematic approach at every stage, commitment from the programme team, close contact with local implementers, and monitoring of local implementation and adaptation processes.
