Thrilled to have hosted @ACE_soas's Dr. Pallavi Roy during Global Community of Practice (CoP) on Scaling's annual meetings
Pallavi presented to my CoP #fragilestates group--on the scaling approach embedded in her brilliant work on adaptive governance/health response to COVID19
Pallavi set the stage by highlighting the governance challenge for scaling health/COVID19 interventions in fragile states & how corruption can become a major issue in the response.
In response to governance/corruption challenge, Pallavi argues for the creation of a rapid scaling consortium that involves multiple actors/delivery channels to:
reduce corruption
📈impact/revealed competence
build in resilience/redundancy
promote cost-effectiveness
Critically, Pallavi argues this approach to scaling must work in an integrated & adaptive way because it's connecting multiple scaling channels/interventions through "horizontal networks" & monitoring to see which channels will work, which won't + which establish redundancies
Over past few years, we've increasingly argued that scaling is not a secondary process to support a winning pilot or innovation but instead an outcomes-based approach for achieving a development goal in adaptive ways that bring in multiple partners, resources, interventions,see👇
Pallavi's work with @mushtaqkhan100 et al is a superb articulation of outcomes-based scaling, which brings together multiple interventions/delivery challenges in adaptive ways to reduce corruption, reveal partner/system competencies, build resilience & achieve cost effectiveness.
