Cataloged from the PDF version of the project report. Includes bibliographical references (pages 20-22). Introduction: Recent research has highlighted the significance of understanding a managers' perspective for improving implementation to successfully execute interventions. It is still largely unexplored how their experiences with the implementation process in health care sectors affects the implementation outcome. Hence, this study aimed to understand the experiences of BRAC’s managerial level program implementors of the Community Support Team (CST) Cox’s Bazar project to identify the barriers and facilitators of their work on program implementation. Method: An exploratory study design was used, applying qualitative approach with BRAC managers who coordinate activities in Cox’s Bazar Sadar, Ramu and Kutubdia unions located in Cox’s Bazar district. A total of 8 BRAC CST project managers were selected through purposive sampling among whom 5 were Community Mobilizers and 3 were Volunteer Coordinators located across the 3 unions. A semi-structured guideline was developed and data was collected through 8 in-depth interviews (IDIs). Both deductive and inductive approach was followed during analysis. Ethical approval was obtained from BRAC James P Grant School of Public Health's Institutional Review Board (IRB) to conduct the research. Findings: The study found several key facilitators and challenges faced by managers during the implementation of the project. The main facilitators of the managerial work found from the study were, strong team bonding, social recognition of organization, rapport with higher officials, support from supervisors and community people, familiarity with local context, being a local resident, and knowledge through past experiences. Among the challenges identified from the managers interviewed in this study, the main issues revolved around unavailability of higher officials, social unacceptability, unable to meet community expectations, lack of flexibility, unfamiliar language and weather constraints. Conclusion: The findings emphasize a need for building strong teams and social networks which should be the managerial attention focus in order to increase performance effectiveness and intervention success.
