The implementation phase for first-wave countries will be well underway by early 2008, with clear plans in place and agreed arrangements – embodied in country-level compacts – for co-ordinating the activities of the various partners.

Monitoring and review will examine the results of actions in first-wave countries and identify lessons for scale-up by 2009.

Scale-up and expansion will, depending on progress and lessons learned in first-wave countries, involve actions being rolled out more widely between 2010-2015.
