Who We Are
At ExpandNet, we believe that solving the big global health and development challenges is less about identifying new and effective solutions—and more about ensuring those solutions reach everyone who needs them. Over the last 20+ years, ExpandNet’s framework, tools and approach has helped countless organizations and governments across the globe to scale successful interventions. Our ambitious goal is to ensure that “what works” is not only widely expanded but is sustained, thereby creating lasting impact.
Our goal is to bridge the gap between ideas, aspirations and impact. We help make the scaling process more accessible, more effective and more equitable, using sound evidence and proven methods. To achieve this, we work to:
Create and share practical tools and guidance to support systemic scale up of proven interventions
Strengthen country and implementer capacity to design and carry out scaling up strategies for real-world health and development programs
Convene a growing and vibrant network of health and development professionals around the world who are dedicated to scaling impact
Facilitate learning and dialogue across sectors, contexts, countries and regions—bringing leaders together to analyze and share scaling experience and insights
Promote cross-country collaboration, enabling peer-to-peer learning, technical support, and co-creation of scaling tools and research across countries and regions
Curate and share resources through an open-access searchable online bibliography of publications, reports and grey literature on scaling up
Document, publish and disseminate scaling-up experience through scientific publications, case studies, toolkits and other practical resources
Provide an online training platform offering the ExpandNet curriculum to build country capacity to apply systematic approaches to scaling
Secretariat Team
The ExpandNet Secretariat establishes the strategic direction of the network and leads implementation of the network’s core priorities—delivering technical assistance, creating and sharing practical guidance, and advancing the science and practice of scaling up. The Secretariat supports ExpandNet members worldwide to help build and mobilize local expertise to support scaling a wide range of public health and development innovations.
Advisory Council
ExpandNet is guided by a global Advisory Council comprised of scaling experts and allies, with the majority being from low- and middle-income countries. The Advisory Council plays a vital role in elevating attention to systematic scale-up at global, regional, and country levels; and they help shape ExpandNet’s strategy and priorities and provide leadership and guidance on a wide range of topics and strategies.
