Key findings from interviews and meeting discussions.

Source	What was learnt
Key informant interviews	Involving decision makers at the government level is a critical component for the effective implementation and eventual scaling of the intervention. And as part of this engagement process, the key informants emphasized that advocacy and communication resources and material must be available. There was a need to make revisions and/or modifications to the curriculum (e.g., develop additional sections with activities) and messages for other age groups (e.g., 0–5 months and 37–48 months). There was also demand for additional content in the supervisor and training material (e.g., additional guidelines for trainers). The training process could be improved with adjustments to the duration and mode of delivery. For example, decrease in the number of training days and the use of technology to deliver virtual training sessions.
Records from the Knowledge Exchange Meeting and working groups	Key priorities/deliverables necessary: Develop key arguments for the intervention based on theoretical framework Preparation of advocacy and communications material that can facilitate global conversations with funders, governments, researchers etc. Develop guidelines and minimum standards for the adaptation of Reach Up. Provide guidelines on integrating Reach Up within existing services such as health and education. Provide guidelines for engaging government and community stakeholders Adjust/strengthen the training and supervisor manuals in areas such as mentoring and coaching, conducting meetings and building positive relationships. Develop model terms of reference document for each staff category Identify tools to assess the skills, characteristics and competencies of the workforce Proposed list of monetary and non-monetary incentives for the workforce Explore solutions for the use of technology – in training, monitoring and supervision
