ExpandNet recognizes the imperative for advancing our collective understanding and applying knowledge about how to scale up services and high impact interventions effectively, efficiently and sustainably, in ways that are acceptable to and meet community needs. Since 2003 ExpandNet has synthesized this knowledge, transforming it into practical guidance, assisting policy makers and program managers to operationalize it for use.
There continues to be an urgent need for effective global dissemination and application of scaling knowledge at country level. The challenges include:
The Scale-up Learning Center addresses these challenges through an approach that disseminates and democratizes scaling knowledge so that it is owned at the country, regional and global levels. It applies learning around systematic approaches to scale up in FP to MNCH and Nutrition, ensuring that implementation research and other types of programmatic investments are designed from the beginning with future scale up in mind.
The Scale up Learning Center (SLC) is ExpandNet’s online, open-source platform for interested global health and development professionals to access curriculum corresponding to ExpandNet’s systematic scale up approach. The SLC strengthens expertise along the scaling continuum from the earliest stages of testing an intervention package, to developing a scale up strategy, and to strategically managing the scaling-up process to ensure sustainable impact.
The SLC serves individuals eager to cultivate or enhance their understanding of the determinants of successful and sustainable scale up initiatives and to become acquainted with resources that provide guidance to planning projects to test new interventions, developing a scaling up strategy and managing the implementation of a scale up initiative. SLC participants include policy makers, managers and other staff from ministries of health and other related ministries, staff from national and international NGOs, representatives of donors and other scaling levers, academics in public health and other fields of development – and anyone with an interest in learning more about successful scale up.
Additional audiences include those who wish to follow more formal curricula with more in-depth resources and expanded learning modalities to obtain a certificate of course completion or to become an ExpandNet “scale-up mentor.”
There is no cost to enroll in the SLC. All the resources and learning opportunities provided by the SLC are available completely free of charge to you.
While there are no prerequisites for this curriculum, familiarity with the global health and development field is highly useful. The SLC is designed to be accessible to learners from various disciplines, sectors and levels of experience.
The SLC is composed of an introductory module along with three core modules, each corresponding to a phase of the scale-up process. Within each module, you will access readings, videos, case studies, and interactive exercises. These resources are curated to deepen your understanding of scale up and provide practical insights into scaling efforts. Each module concludes with an assessment that allows you to gauge your comprehension and solidify the key concepts covered.
You can enroll at any time for the Self-guided and Certificate tracks by selecting “I want to get started” on the front page of the SLC and following the step-by-step instructions. If you decide to change tracks, you can easily do so through your profile page.
