Reflecting on my experience with CIFOR's project, Scaling Jurisdictional Approaches in the Palm Oil Sector, which focused on enhancing the readiness of four major palm oil-producing regencies in Indonesia. Scaling in this context involves expanding successful approaches and innovations across jurisdictions while ensuring they are adapted to local contexts.
During the implementation phase, we engaged stakeholders in participatory processes, fostered strong multi-stakeholder collaborations for co-designing jurisdiction-specific Theory of Change, Theory of Action, and Monitoring and Evaluation Framework and scaling effective solutions as scalable recommendation adaptable to regional action plan at jurisdictions level and embedded policies such as the Regional and National Action Plans for Sustainable Palm Oil (RAD KSB and RAN KSB) to ensure long-term sustainability.
To measure and evaluate scaling efforts, we established robust mechanisms with specific metrics to track progress. We ensured policy integration by aligning efforts with the RAD KSB and RAN KSB to support broader sustainability objectives and conducted systematic documentation, crafted the story of change and identified viable pathways for the implementation of Jurisdictional Programs, fostering learning and adaptability throughout the scaling process.
