Practical Guidance for Scaling Up Health Service Innovations

This document - sometimes referred to as the Enthusiast's Guide to Scaling Up - is more comprehensive than the Nine-Step Guide. For example, it focuses not only on how to scale up innovations but also explains how to design pilot projects with scaling up in mind. This document was developed in response to the need expressed by program managers, policy makers and technical assistance personnel for practical guidance to assist with the process of scaling up.

20 Questions to guide development of retrospective case studies in scaling up

Upon request of the Implementing Best Practices Initiative, and together with Management Systems International, ExpandNet developed a guideline of 20 questions to support the development of retrospective case studies of scaling up experiences.

The guideline grew out of the awareness that a number of IBP partners had a great deal of experience in the area of scaling up but that documentation was sparse. We hope that other projects can make use of the guideline to help formulate publications. It would be especially helpful to refer to our Practical Guide when preparing documentation related to these questions.
