Descripción: 

The Scaling Agricultural Innovations Workshop gathered scaling experts from a range of organizations and agriculture sectors to share their experiences and ideas on the findings and lessons learned from five case studies (hybrid maize in Zambia, irrigated rice in Senegal, Purdue Improved Crop Storage bags in Kenya, agricultural machinery services in Bangladesh, and Kuroiler chickens in Uganda). This report provides an overview of the workshop discussions, to document the feedback and ideas shared among participants and presents key ideas and overarching themes that may be of interest to readers engaged in the scaling of agricultural innovations in developing countries. 

Overall, the views and analysis shared by participants were largely in agreement on the important elements for scaling, including adaptive and flexible management, strong monitoring data to inform decision-making, the need to understand the context of the country, policy, and enabling environment for the innovation, the challenges of incorporating scaling into project design and implementation, and the critical role of strong partnerships.
