Vision > SaferSpaces aims to become:

    (1) South Africa’s key      (2) a central network for          (3) an effective support
        knowledge hub                  practitioners                to SA’s safety agenda
•    to find information        • to showcase them & their work   • to inform about relevant news,
•    to share knowledge &       • to share their publications,      processes, events…
     resources                    research etc.                   • as knowledge hub for e.g. new

“Small is beautiful but big is necessary” – WHY though?

• SDGs call for eradicating global poverty and sustainable development
  (economic, social and environmental)
        Global challenges require broad-impact solutions
• Stagnating budget (OECD DAC-ODA: >= 0.32% of GNI since 2000)
        more effective use of available funds to achieve broad impact

       ‘Islands of excellence’                    ‘Broad-impact approaches’

Scaling-up: WHAT are we talking about?

• ‘Scaling-up’ = increasing measures/interventions proportionally
        both in terms of funding and impact/capacities

                                  Macro-level
                              Policy development

HOW can we achieve scaling-up?

    • Analysis of over 25 GIZ projects and programmes
            Eight factors identified as particularly relevant for successful scaling up

(1) THINK BIG: the vision of                            (2) Ownership and involving key
scaling up as an integral part of                       stakeholders
programme planning
•    What is to be scaled up to what degree?            •   What are the needs / interests of
•    What capacities do (potential) key                     partners?
     stakeholders have?                                 •   Will the partners assume a leadership
•    What is the planned scaling-up                         role in the scaling-up process?
     strategy?                                          •   How can key actors be involved?
•    What financing options are available?

(3) Multi-level approach                                (4) Good evaluation of pilot
                                                        project/measures’ results
•    At which level does the programme /                •    Is the pilot demand-driven, adapted to
     project operate?                                        the sociocultural and political context
•    Are the levels interlinked in terms of                  and replicable?
     topic and strategy in a way that is                •    Did the proven results convince
     conducive to scaling up results?                        decision-makers?

                                                       tures and incentive mechanisms
•    Which standards underpin the quality of           •    Which strategy can ensure effective
     the scaling-up process?                                scaling-up? Do key actors have
•    How is compliance with these standards                 necessary capacities?
     monitored?                                        •    Do key actors / population groups have
•    Do the actors involved in the scaling-up               interests that can be harnessed for
     process have manuals that lay out                      scaling up?
     clearly the necessary processes etc.?             •    Which incentives can be used to
                                                            stimulate the willingness to embrace
                                                            change and scale up?

(7) Communication and                                (8) Generous timescale and
networking                                           budget
•    Which actors need what information?             •    Does a long-term financing concept
•    Have all stakeholders been informed                  exist for the scaling-up process?
     about the background, benefits and              •    Are the objectives of the scaling up
     course of the scaling-up processes?                  process realistic in the timescale
•    How can existing networks be involved                envisaged?
     in the communication and dialogue
     process?

Conclusion: Key issues / challenges to bear in mind

•     Vertical & horizontal up-scaling > and how those interlink
•     Capacities, processes and infrastructure for scaling-up
•     Incentives for & oversight of up-scaling
•     Quality assurance > packaging, standards, manuals
•     Monitoring & evaluation > impact & uptake
•     Bridging gaps > sectoral, funding & academia/practice
