- Abstract
Background: The participation of all stakeholders is necessary when a community-based intervention is designed. For running a practical intervention, it is necessary to have a framework to design the programme while considering all stages of planning, implementation and evaluation. Aims: To describe a study protocol based on the MAPP process (Mobilizing for Action through Planning and Partnerships) for promoting physical activity (PA). Methods: This protocol is implemented in 6 distinct phases. The goal of the first and second phase is to organize the programme and increase participation, and to determine the vision of the programme, respectively. The third phase provides a comprehensive picture of a community. The fourth and fifth phases identify strategies for the programme. The sixth phase is about the action cycle. Conclusion: The framework considers all factors on PA improvement and, consequently, results in a culture-based programme for women.
