The disconnect between the language of sectoral plans and the language of targeted intervention
• Comprehensive plans versus selective priorities• Education sector plan, education sector reform plan, scaling
plan for selected interventions• Incremental improvements versus transformative changes

Systematic plans for scaling begin with clarity about what is being scaled and what constitutes scale;…
• Articulation of the intervention’s essential features• Technical• Financial• Process• Values
• Clarifying level of ambition – expected outcomes; who, where, to what extent, by when
• Bundling and unbundling components

Scaling Learner Guides – Key Challenges
• Transferring ownership from CAMFED to the Government
• Going to scale (400 to 4000) secondary schools and from project funding to permanent funding (Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3)
• Simplifying, and minimizing unit cost• Making a virtue of “distributed responsibility”
within the Govt• Maintaining enthusiasm among the Learner
Guides when they are drawn from the larger population

Real Time Scaling Lab
•Composition and leadership of the RTSL•Engagement strategy •3-year process, linked to Phase 2•Some of the questions to be answered What solution can we learn-adopt from the LG program How does the implementation change when this goes to scale How much does it cost/might cost What model can this take to ensure effectiveness and sustainability- keeping the enthusiasm of volunteers How can it be funded in long term
•Link to government’s budget cycle

“What is being scaled?”
“Who will be the ‘doer’ at scale?”
“Who will be the funder at scale?”
“Who is responsible for the scaling?”
“Is there something that could cause the rate of change to
go from incremental to exponential?

Systematically assessing scalability
• Planning: robustness of scaling strategy
• Credibility: hard evidence, credible supporters
• Support: intensity of perceived need, policy priority
• Comparative Advantage: demonstrable improvement over existing practices and alternatives
• Ease of Adoption: simplicity, transferability
• Organizational Capacity: human and financial resources; systems and incentives
• Financial Sustainability: sustainable funding source

Implications for GPE• Leverage the full value of the partnership by strengthening the
“backbone” of the partnership, especially at the country level, and by focusing the partnership on implementation as well as planning
• Encourage peer to peer learning • At the country level, focus on a limited number of key reforms or
initiatives and on the full range of actions needed to bring them to fruition
• Encourage the use of systematic procedures for (1) assessing the scalability and expected impact at scale of proposed changes, and (2) managing and monitoring the transition to scale
• Focus implementation grants on one or more “pinch points” or on “keyhole interventions”
