The Upstream Solutions Working Group Implementation Guide was developed by a team of researchers at the American Institutes for Research (AIR) as part of the Systems Alignment for Effective Resettlement project, with funding from the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation’s Systems for Action program. The guide incorporates insights from a yearlong process of working with an advisory panel of resettlement experts to develop an alignment approach—the Upstream Solutions Working Group—and assess its feasibility through a pilot test.

The guide offers an introduction to the alignment approach for first-time users and steps to implement the approach. Download the implementation guide here and see AIR's project page here.
