Diversification in East and Southern Africa
Research activities: Scale and coordinate
Scale agrifood innovations and coordinate One CGIAR and partner scaling activities in ESA
This activity focuses on embedding and coordinating the Initiative’s activities and other One CGIAR and partner initiatives through a scaling hub to facilitate the scaling of agricultural innovations in East and Southern Africa. The Scaling Hub will bring together CGIAR’s key scaling partners in the region in a hub-and-spokes model that invests in advancing state-of-the-art “science of scaling” and “practice of scaling.”
The Scaling Hub will develop an operational strategy and inform, activate, and scale innovations that respond to regional or country demand via the Scaling Readiness approach to enable partners who will carry out most of the scaling in practice while ensuring gender equality and social inclusion (GESI).
