Scaling-up = taking successful projects / programs / policies and expand / adapt / sustain them in different ways over time for a greater development impact

NGO interventions are typically small in scale but often apply new approaches

Question: how to replicate and scale-up their successful models ?Answer: by building a NGO consortium which is deployed through the three dimensions• Horizontal: expansion of coverage / more people (from 0 to 350’000)• Vertical: creating the organizational /political framework (the more you

cover, the higher level you need• Functional: going beyond one function (WASH) to include others (Education,

Health)

• Scaling-up 1 program – 8 NGOs – 16 Countries – 27 Projects• Sharing of resources and know-how between the NGOs• Positioning the Swiss NGOs, visibility at international level /

influencing the sector

Geographically, it has always been is the hinge between the Mediterranean coast and the Fertile Crescent in the interior
