The polio immunization program must be owned by local stakeholders and decision makers. The frameworks for scaling up public health interventions - for transforming health research interventions into pathways towards achieving development goals - are diverse. Examples of elements of such frameworks include: leadership responsibility, packaging of new ideas, communication, social system strengthening, measurement and feedback, and knowledge management. This paper investigates the process, actors, and contexts of polio immunisation scaling up in Indonesia from 1988 to 2018. The researchers carried out a quantitative survey of 323 actors involved in the polio programme at national and sub-national levels, followed by key informant interviews (KIIs) and a document review (to construct a timeline of the polio eradication programme, with milestones). All data were collected between June 2018 and March 2019.
