Implement, Maintain, Scale up, Sustain (IMSS) - Traditional Planning, Mechanisms & Processes
Note: Each local situation will also have key local drivers & barriers that need to be addressed but are often ignored in research articles or planning manuals because they are different and specific to each situation and the individuals involved. These need to be addressed through strategic planning and are addressed in a separate but related set of summaries in this Encyclopedia. . They include; key people acting as decision-makers, gatekeepers, influencers and others; critical processes such as annual priority setting and budget-making; local issues that relate to the program; recent and significant incidents (such as a death or crisis) that have galvanized public, political and professional attention; the history of the issue, organization and community context as they relate to the program and existing relationships between the various partners, allies and competitors to the program.

There are many evidence-based and experience-tested situational analysis tools available. Some address specific topics such school food and nutrition, some address other forms of school-based and school-linked programs generally and others have developed theories and models from other, broader sectors such as public health or education. The situation analysis should use an inclusive and participatory process when possible, being especially careful to engage the partners who will be involved in the comprehensive approach or program. The data collection process can include reviews of evidence, reports and surveys, specific and general consultations with stakeholders, the use of independent facilitators, ensuring a balance among researchers, practitioners and officials at various levels across the relevant sectors.
