We believe the transition to scale – which we define as reaching at least 50,000 children, or covering the full population of a defined administrative territory such as a city or state – is the major current challenge in early childhood development.
So, we partnered with the Harvard Kennedy School to produce a series of case studies that looks at the scaling journeys of different early years initiatives. The findings offer shared understanding and lessons learnt on the process to scale.
