Three years ago, in a small hotel room in Nigeria, the first ideas for scalingreadiness.org were born... Today, with a lot of learning and experience in the pocket, we are proud to present you what we think will revolutionise innovation and scaling in research for development

#ScalingReadiness team has developed the Scaling Readiness Website and published Guidelines to systematically guide projects and programs that want to adopt it. Link to the website and Guidelines: scalingreadiness.org

Proud of our IITA and Wageningen U&R Scaling Readiness Lead Scientists Murat Sartas and Marc Schut

#ScalingReadiness provides a stepwise process to designing, validating, and implementing scaling strategies by breaking down the development of a scaling strategy into smaller, manageable steps that each have their specific objective, methods, and results.

Day 2 of the #Scaling Fund meeting in #Kigali, Rwanda. Discussions today focus on #ScalingReadiness approach. Dr. Murat Sartas, the Scaling Readiness scientist, dives into steps of Scaling Readiness and how they help to achieve project scaling.

Finally it is out... the Scaling Readiness Guidelines developed as past of RootsTubersBananas Breeding CGIAR #makingscalinghappen

ROSE and @Muzhingi_T presenting the use of Scaling Readiness in the design, implementation and monitoring of the scaling of Sweet Potato #OFSP Puree under the RootsTubersBananas Breeding Scaling Fund

@Muzhingi_T: “Scaling Readiness stimulates business-as-unusual in terms of partner engagement and developing scaling strategies” scalingreadiness.org

For past 3 years, a group of dedicated scientists representing Wageningen U&R& CGIAR worked on the design and testing of #ScalingReadiness. During this period, Scaling Readiness components contributed to scaling activities of more than 20 projects in 25 countries in Africa, Asia.. 1/2

...and Latin America. Some examples include high-quality cassava peels for animal feed in #Nigeria, and sweetpotato #OFSP puree for use in processed products in #Uganda, #Kenya, and #Malawi. Currently, expanding to #Rwanda, #Ghana, #Tanzania Read more: bit.ly/2P9FYDQ

There is very high risk for scaling something that is not yet ready. RootsTubersBananas Breeding's #ScalingReadiness systematically guides the process of confirming whether a given innovation is ready for #scale.

Very happy to have this important book. Thanks Murat Sartas, Mark Schut Marc Schut, and the wonderful co-authors of the book for sharing. Achievieving impacts at scale with #fisheries and #aquaculture innovations & practices Scaling Readiness Pip Cohen WorldFish @FISH_CGIAR

Community of Practice on #Scaling featured a story on #ScalingReadiness. Visit scalingreadiness.org for more information on the concepts, practices and use of Scaling Readiness in projects.

I had very productive three weeks in Kigali . We have successfully launched two #digitalinnovation projects in #Ghana, #Nigeria, #Rwanda and #Tanzania, finished our #science article to be published in a very high ranking journal, explored using #Scaling R…lnkd.in/eVSzut4

We are looking for a teammate who can join us International Livestock Research Institute (ILRI) improving the use and #impact of #livestock #innovations for smallholder farmers and people in the rural areas. Please let me know if you have any questions ow.ly/4OyQ50Gk64g

#Livestock is very important for the lives of people in #low income contries. It is a source of income, investment for paying school fees, marrying your kids, paying health bills. #Pigs are also important for dating in Uganda! Are you curious what else we found, read our study!
