Advancing The Science And Practice Of Scale Up
Creating effective regenerative and multi-sectoral development solutions is not enough ... ... it’s about making sure those solutions reach the most people and landscapes.
Regenerate Africa in partnership with ExpandNet (https://expandnet.net/) is supporting governments, non-governmental organizations, projects, private sector and international donors to embed a scaling-up focus throughout their work. Trainings and workshops range from shorter, distance-based collaborations to multi-day, in-person workshops focused on building capacity for scale-up within an institution.
Together we provide scaling-up technical support to a range of institutions, initiatives and activities using practical scaling-up experience and knowledge of the ExpandNet guidance tools.
We offering trainings on Science and Practice of Scaling UP. This through the Scale-up Learning Center (SLC) which is as an innovative, open-source, digital learning and sharing platform that can strengthen scaling capacity among global health and development professionals. The SLC is intended to build expertise around scaling across all stages of a “scaling trajectory” – from the earliest stages of testing a new solution, to developing a scale-up strategy, and then for strategically managing the scaling-up process.
The SLC offers diverse learning pathways, which allow learners to choose a track based on their desired level of engagement: 1) a certificate track for those seeking to complete the whole SLC curriculum, thereby gaining a comprehensive understanding of the entire scaling trajectory; 2) a self-guided track for those wanting to explore only specific topics or phases of the scaling trajectory; 3) a team track for a group of learners (e.g. from the same project or organization) who wish to work through specific modules or the entire curriculum together in applied ways, considering the scaling issues they jointly face; and 4) a mentor track for those who wish to gain strong mastery through in-depth exposure to the full curriculum, supported by a set of coaches, after which they will be in well-positioned to help others apply ExpandNet tools and learnings. The Mentor track has limited availability and an application is required.
The SLC modules combine: multimedia presentations by ExpandNet members, case study exercises, learning questions, recorded interviews with senior scaling experts, and practical tools and resources to support applying a systematic approach to scaling up. The SLC Community-space will offer periodic live discussions, office hours and other learning opportunities with ExpandNet facilitators and allies.
With a diverse array of features tailored to facilitate collaboration, interaction, and technical assistance, the SLC’s learning environment will help all learners feel engaged and inspired on their scale-up learning journey.
Scale Up Tools and Guides
Based on comprehensive literature reviews and the extensive experience of its members with major scale-up initiatives, ExpandNet, together with WHO, has produced tools, guides, and other resources which are being used by country teams, projects, and institutions in their scale-up endeavors.
