Who We Are

ExpandNet is a global network of individuals from international organizations, non-governmental organizations, academic and research institutions, governmental ministries and specific projects who seek to advance the science and practice of scaling up.

Our mission is to promote equitable access to high quality health and development interventions by ensuring that the benefits achieved in successful pilot, demonstration and experimental projects are expanded and institutionalized to serve more people, more quickly and more sustainably.

Our objectives:

  • Develop practical guidance to support successful scale up

  • Develop country capacity to apply scaling-up learning to projects and programs

  • Support and expand a network of professionals and scientists working on scaling-up initiatives

  • Foster dialogue among global health and development professionals, policy makers, program managers and researchers involved in scaling up and to create opportunities for sharing learning across nations and regions

  • Provide a mechanism for cross-site, south-to-south collaboration for technical support, evaluation, development of tools, guidance and research related to scaling up

  • Inventory published and unpublished resources related to scaling up and make them publicly accessible in a searchable online bibliography

  • Stimulate comparative analysis of scaling-up initiatives across programs, regions and nations

  • Document scaling-up experience and publish scientific papers, guides, and toolkits

Secretariat Team

The ExpandNet Secretariat is focused on leading, developing and implementing the network's key priorities, namely providing technical assistance, developing and disseminating practical guidance and generally advancing the science and practice of scale up. The Secretariat supports ExpandNet members around the world to build and mobilize scaling expertise to help advance local scale up of a range of global public health and development interventions.

Advisory Council

ExpandNet is guided by a global, gender-balanced, Advisory Council comprised of scaling experts and allies, with majority representation from lower and middle-income countries. ExpandNet's Advisory Council plays a key role in elevating global, regional, and country-level attention to systematic scale up, shaping ExpandNet priorities and activities, and providing guidance for ExpandNet's implementation of new technical assistance modalities.
