Working to strengthen the development community’s ability to design and deliver sustainable solutions that match the scale of the need
CoP Working Paper #1 Highlights Cutting-Edge Issues in Scaling

The Scaling Up Community of Practice (CoP) held its 5th Annual Workshop on 19-30 October 2020. Three virtual plenary sessions and nine virtual working group (WG) sessions covered a wide range of scaling aspects. Recordings of these sessions are available on the CoP’s website (www.scalingcommunityofpractice.com) and are summarized in the CoP’s Newsletter #19 which can be downloaded from the website.
Following the Workshop, the CoP commissioned Richard Kohl to review all of the materials from the Workshop and to prepare a paper identifying and exploring the major cross-cutting issues that emerged from the discussions. This paper, CoP Working Paper #1, is intended to shape the deliberations and additional knowledge products by the CoP and its 9 Working Groups during 2021. It is also intended as a contribution to deeper exploration within the development community about strategies for achieving sustainable outcomes at scale.
The full paper can be found here.

@l_haddad @FoodSystems Thanks! Changing mindsets is the lever for #transformation but also the most difficult! It helps to understand better what mindsets are- and why we seem to prefer silver bullets? a great resource: https://www.frameworksinstitute.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/FRAJ8064-Mindset-Shifts-200612-WEB.pdf @FrameWorksInst @cgiar #ScalingCoP
