ExpandNet tools and publications
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.
Scale-up Learning Center
ExpandNet’s is currently developing the Scale-up Learning Center (SLC) as an innovative, open-access, digital learning and sharing platform to strengthen scaling capacity among all global health and development professionals. The SLC curriculum is intended to build expertise to advance scaling work across all stages of the “scaling trajectory” – from the earliest stages of designing a new solution, to developing a scale-up strategy, and then for strategically managing the scaling-up process.
To stay informed about the future launch of the SLC, please subscribe to ExpandNet’s mailing list in the footer of any page of this website.
Scaling-up guides
ExpandNet guides address the three phases of scaling up
The Beginning with the end in mind tool offers recommendations for designing and implementing a pilot, demonstration or implementation research project with scaling up in mind. It is also helpful to make mid-course corrections.
The Nine Steps for developing a scaling-up strategy tool and associated worksheets are based on the ExpandNet framework and provide stepwise guidance to develop a scaling-up strategy. It can also support the management of the scaling-up process.
The Practical Guidance tool identifies general scaling-up principles and provides examples from case studies of successful scale-up initiatives. It is helpful at the design stage, during implementation and to manage the scaling-up process.
Other ExpandNet scaling-up resources
20 questions for developing a scaling-up case study can be used retrospectively or prospectively to document scaling-up experience. Our Practical Guidance tool can support preparing documentation related to these questions.
Scaling up health service delivery presents the ExpandNet framework based on extensive literature review followed by seven in-depth country case studies of scaling up in Africa; Asia and Latin America.
The Implementation Mapping Tool (IMT) helps project teams use learning questions to conduct participatory reflection, adaptive management and documentation of the process of scaling up health and development interventions.
