The urgent need to scale impact in critical sectors such as food security, agriculture, rural development, and climate change presents both challenges and opportunities. As evaluators, we are increasingly tasked with delivering rigorous insights to guide and support these scaling efforts.

These experiences have provided me with valuable perspectives on the complexities inherent in scaling initiatives and underscored the critical role of robust evaluation in driving sustainable outcomes.
