Success deserves to be scaled up – from pilots to broad change Friday, 27/09/13 Conference Hall Zamet, Host: NALAS
SPEAKERS
South-East Europe can draw on a number of successful projects that brought change, economic growth, better public services and innovations to pilot communities. The impact of pilots is by definition limited to a certain number of municipalities, regions or levels of government but the experiences gathered and the changes achieved often deserve to be shared and transferred so that more citizens can benefit from them. Success deserves to be scaled up. To ‚scale up‘ means to increase proportionally. In the context of development policy the term ‚scaling up‘ is used to refer to increase in both funding and in the outreach of development measures. While funding is without doubt crucial for policy change, our workshop will focus on the challenges, potentials and benefits of regional scaling up measures to broaden their impact. After further conceptualizing scaling up and its dimensions, we aim to explore the potentials, challenges and chances of scaling up in South-East Europe based on the experience of NALAS, local government associations and development practitioners. The questions of how to broaden the impact and outreach of cooperation projects and what the ingredients of successful horizontal and vertical scaling up look like, will guide our discussion. Participants and visitors should expect an open and lively discussion that does not only provide good food for thought but maybe even new perspectives for cooperation.
