Table 2.

Challenges to REDI implementation, as well as associated context-mechanism configurations that mediated challenges and facilitated implementation.

Challenges	Context-Mechanism pathways to mediate challenges
Transportation for pick-up and/or delivery of aid (e.g., COVID-19 travel restrictions)	Program infrastructure → Administration:	ICM's efficient coordination of aid requests & distribution of supplies. Proactive communication to inform leaders of available supplies.
	Social infrastructure → Social position/networks of leaders:	Obtained local government assistance with aid distribution. Ability to pass through COVID-19 checkpoints.
	Social infrastructure → Relationships among leaders:	Collated aid requests and aid pickup; supported each other with aid distribution.
	Community infrastructure → Building on community assets:	Available resources for travel (e.g. gasoline money, loaning of cars).
	Community infrastructure → Community credibility/enabling environment:	Able to continue providing support in COVID-19 as religious leaders (therefore provide aid too). ‘Quarantine passes' to travel freely.
Determining aid eligibility & equitable distribution	Program infrastructure → Administration:	ICM's flexibility to give religious leaders autonomy to determine local needs and request aid accordingly.
	Program infrastructure → Relationships between ICM staff & REDI leaders:	ICM's credibility among communities. Leaders could balance ICM aid protocols with local needs.
	Community infrastructure → Community credibility/enabling environment:	Leaders' knowledge of who is eligible for aid. Local government unit assistance in determining aid eligibility. Leaders' prior background in aid.
Physicality of moving food boxes	Community infrastructure → Building on community assets:	Team of people to distribute aid within the community.
Technical challenges with electronic aid requests	Program infrastructure → Administration:	ICM's mechanism for submitting aid requests is overall easy and straightforward to use (challenges were reportedly the exception).
Technical challenges with electronic aid requests	Social infrastructure → Relationships among leaders:	Supported one another with technical aspects of aid requests.
