For the process analysis quantitative and qualitative research methods will be used. Based on a theoretical model that was developed (Meiland et al., 2004, 2005) to trace facilitating and impeding factors in the implementation of the MCSP in the Netherlands, a questionnaire will be composed to inventory facilitators and barriers of successful implementation of the MCSP in the participating countries on a micro (primary process), meso (organization) and macro level (laws and regulations, funding). source
