- The strategy for negotiation with the participating actors
- The forms of intervention and support by the stakeholders.
Detailed planning is virtually impossible. But it is useful to reach agreement with the key
partners on milestones and cut-off points.
Step 3: Select partners for scaling up.
Partners must be selected on the basis of their core competencies for communication,
knowledge management, advocacy, policy advice and other criteria. The strategy
requires a stakeholder analysis that extends beyond the cooperation system of the
current development project.
Step 4: Provide financial and human resources.
Scaling up is often a tough negotiation process of unforeseeable duration. Resources
will be needed not only for the start-up phase. Sufficient financial and human resources
must be made available to sustain the innovation.
Step 5: Monitoring and quality assurance
In the course of the scaling-up process, new actors affect the innovation that is being
scaled up. Compromises need to be negotiated, and concessions made. Joint
monitoring within the partner system guarantees the quality assurance and steering of
the process. It is essential that the core of the innovation can actually be transported,
disseminated and mainstreamed by the scaling-up process. Expectations that are too
high can block the process.
Step 6: Check progress continuously
The checklist below can be used to continuously review whether the designated
development steps for the scaling-up process have been successful. Even if at the
beginning of the scaling-up process many of the points included in the checklist still elicit
a negative response (i.e. have as yet received inadequate attention or none at all), the
tool can be used to monitor progress. Over time, more and more of the steps in the
process should elicit a positive rating.
Checklist for scaling-up
1. Evaluating experiences
Have we described the experiences and good practices from the project precisely and in
a structured fashion?
Are we sufficiently familiar with the financial and institutional conditions for scaling up?
2. Scaling-up strategy
