Implement a DAT Intervention
Implementing a DAT intervention for your NTP involves numerous phases before roll-out and scale up can begin.
It is advised that you begin by assessing your country context and continue through the various phases of planning before moving onto the finalization phase.
At times the phases may overlap, although as much as possible they follow a stepwise approach.
Should you require technical assistance in preparing for dissemination, the DAT Task Force can consult with your country NTP.
