Factors to consider to ensure successful programme transition processes:
National vision and leadership
This is essential to ensure ownership of the process and the results. This leadership should also form part of the oversight of the transition process, along with other key stakeholders.
Political context and priorities
Be responsive to the context and gain consensus on the capacity development and transition interventions using evidence-based approaches.
Facilitated participatory process
A participatory process helps to engage stakeholders and partners in conducting evidence-based assessments, prioritized action planning and agreeing measurable milestones.
Clear process
Early identification of the national entity should take place, and clear timelines should be set for capacity development planning, implementation and transition of the grant management role.
Set up of new programme management structure
Putting new implementation structures and arrangements in place early, with clear roles and responsibilities, and recruiting, training and retaining key positions in the national entity will support a smooth transition.
Defining realistic schedules for transition or handover
Transition timing should be guided by defined capacity development milestones within an agreed timeline. The timing of any transition will vary, with a longer period of support likely to be needed for procurement of health products including medicines and laboratory diagnostics. It can help to use a phased approach to transition to mitigate risk, develop resilient programmes and sustain life saving services.

Stage the transition or handover
Transition is most effective when done gradually. Dividing the plan into stages and naming the stages can be helpful (e.g., Meeting the challenge, Measuring improvements, Targets achieved, and Sustainable results).
