CoP Outputs to innovations
Translating Research Outputs into Scaled Innovation (Champion: Haroon Sseguya, IITA)
Go back to the Communities of Practice main page
There are few projects that start from an open-ended systems diagnosis and get to the stage of promoting the scaling of tested, validated and adapted research outputs. Africa RISING is now moving beyond this stage to a situation where we can gather the evidence that these R-in-D approaches can really catalyse adoption and even generate impact at scale. This CoP should aim to identify promising approaches to scaling and promote them throughout the Africa RISING research teams. It should also ensure that the process is properly documented and analysed; to some extent this could overlap with the first CoP. Most importantly of all, this CoP will need to consider and synthesize the lessons that we will be learning on how and how not to take research outputs to scale. This COP will also work closely with the engagement for better linkages COP for co-learning from ongoing investments.
