UN Millenium Report Scale Up Issues
The need to scale up arises from the limited impact of pilot projects, or
“islands of excellence” amidst a sea of inertia—small projects implemented at
local or district levels without a measurable impact on national indicators (Uvin,
Jain, and Brown 2000). National scale-up is the process of bringing essential services to most or all the population quickly, equitably, and lastingly (Carter and
Currie-Alder n.d.).
