Just out: Policy Guidance on Scaling from the OECD Development Assistance Committee This scaling guidance seeks to help funders of development co-operation assistance to design and implement initiatives on a scale that effectively addresses systemic constraints in low- and middle-income countries and sustains positive impact over time. Over the last 1.5 years, we worked with an amazing group of colleagues from three OECD - OCDE networks on this guidance: the OECD Development Results Community, OECD Evalnet and the OECD innovation peer-learning group i32. We developed this guidance to support change-makers in funder organisations and to provide implementers and partners of bilateral funders with an engagement opportunity for discussions on funding horizons, business models, trade-offs between magnitude and equity, and more. We built on the great work of the International Development Research Centre (IDRC), the Global Community on Scaling Development Outcomes, Elrha, the International Development Innovation Alliance, CGIAR, Sir Geoff Mulgan and others.
