Table 1 Proposed steps of the fiscal mapping process, as adapted from intervention mapping

1. Needs assessment

Identify determinants (barriers and facilitators) of implementation/sustainment

Identify resources needed for implementation/sustainment and determinants for those resources

2. Matrices

Specify program objectives and link those objectives to determinants

Specify funding objectives and link to determinants of needed resources for implementation/sustainment

3. Theory-based methods

Specify feasible, available implementation strategies matched to objectives

Specify feasible, available financing strategies matched to funding objectives

4. Intervention, adoption, and implementation^a

Select strategies that best address the determinants

Enact financing strategies that best address resources needed for implementation/sustainment

5. Evaluation plan

Monitor and evaluate progress

Monitor and evaluate financial viability
