This presentation for the GROWBABY Research Network is part of her PhD research on the challenges of Group Care implementation, within the broader Group Care 1000 study. Specifically, she will present the results of an in-depth context analysis conducted in seven countries: Belgium, Ghana, Kosovo, the Netherlands, South Africa, Suriname, and the UK. This context analysis took place during the pre-implementation phase and formed the foundation for developing the Anticipated Challenges Framework for Group Care Implementation. In addition, Astrid will briefly discuss a more detailed case study for Belgium, focusing primarily on the influence of health systems on the implementation process.
