It was developed by Wageningen University and Research (WUR) and the International Institute of Tropical Agriculture (IITA) in close collaboration with three other CGIAR research centres and with funding from CGIAR Fund Donors. It encourages critical reflection on how ready the innovations are for scaling and what actions could be taken to enhance scaling. It provides a stepwise approach towards […]

It was developed by the E3 Analytics and Evaluation Project, led by Management Systems International (MSI) for USAID’s Bureau of Food Security (BFS). The tool aims to help select an appropriate scaling pathway for an innovation through a qualitative appraisal of the scalability.

ILRI’s scaling framework provides an overview of the steps along with short summaries and assessments of nine tools related to scalability assessment.

The operational framework for scaling up results was developed by the program management department of the International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD). The framework provides guidance on how to systematically consider scaling up in IFAD’s operations from inception to completion and in different contexts.

A management framework for practitioners.

A practical guide for researchers: It provides guidance to researchers through each stage of a typical research process to help put scaling intentions into action and to encourage researchers to revisit scaling plans on an ongoing basis.

The paper provides evidence that the socio-political dynamics of access to technology can have an important influence on its wide spread application and may complicate efforts to scale the uptake of technology.

This paper gathers important lessons to achieve impact at scale with a disruptive innovation and committed leadership, strong evidence and collaboration.

It is informed and inspired by the September 2018 conference, Innovations in Agriculture: Scaling Up to Reach Millions, organized by Purdue University, in partnership with the African Development Bank. The Sourcebook consolidates, extends, and disseminates some of the scaling insights presented at the Purdue conference

Scaling Impact introduces a new and practical approach to scaling the positive impacts of research and innovation. Inspired by leading scientific and entrepreneurial innovators from International Development Research Centre (IDRC) projects across Africa, Asia, the Caribbean, Latin America, and the Middle East.
