Background High rates of intimate partner violence (IPV) and mental disorders are present in Mozambique where there is a significant treatment gap. We aimed to report Mozambican community stakeholder perspectives of implementing couple-based interpersonal psychotherapy (IPT-C) in preparation for a pilot trial in Nampula City. Methods We conducted 11 focus group discussions (6–8 people per group) and seven in-depth interviews with key informants in mental health or gender-based violence (n = 85) using purposive sampling. We used grounded theory methods to conduct an inductive coding and then deductively applied the consolidated framework for implementation research (CFIR). Results For the outer setting, local attitudes that stigmatize mental health conditions and norm IPV as well as an inefficient legal system were barriers. Stakeholders expressed high acceptability of IPT-C, although a lack of resources was a structural challenge for the inner setting. Adaptation of the approach to screen for and address potential mediators of IPV was important for adopting a multisectoral response to implementation and planning. Delivering IPT-C in the community and in collaboration with community stakeholders was preferable. Conclusion Stakeholders recommended multilevel involvement and inclusion of community-based programming. Task shifting and use of technology can help address these resource demands.
