Each year since 2018, the Forum selects ten projects to receive year-long customized support from the Forum’s Scale-up program (SCUP). This review assesses what the SCUP program has achieved in the past years, and presents some success stories. The report also serves to further reflect on what improvements can help governance innovators achieve change at scale in a complex environment.
Accelerating solutions that make a difference
The SCUP is an accelerator that mobilizes resources from within the PPF Secretariat and the world-class PPF community to help strengthen and grow these solutions and amplify their impact. It helps project leaders identify and approach new partners and funders, reach out to new actors and gain visibility, influence positive change in their ecosystem, and strengthen their organizational development.
