Abstract
The objective of this report is to
assess the usefulness of providing guidance for scaling up
good practices in core ARD business lines, and to test the
prospects for doing so. The output of the document is a
guide for a systematic discussion on scaling up of
Competitive Grant Schemes (CGSs) for agricultural research
and extension at key decision points during the life of an
ARD project. This report addresses the other end of the
state-of-practice spectrum - good practices and beyond. The
preparation of this report entailed five main activities: An
overview of scaling up concepts and approaches; the
selection of a particular sub-area within one of ARD s core
business lines - scaling up CGS for agricultural research
and extension; application of the IFAD/Brookings framing
questions to five World Bank projects that were identified
as addressing that business line - using information
provided by the project's task team leaders (TTLs) or
other member of the project team; the development of
sub-area specific guidance for a systematic discussion on
scaling up based on the findings from a series of five case
studies; and validation of the scaling up guidance for CGSs
for agricultural research and extension by World Bank
practitioners and other internal consultations.
