The scale-up of successfully tested public health interventions is critical to achieving universal health coverage. To ensure optimal use of resources, assessment of the scalability of an intervention is recognized as a crucial step in the scale-up process. This study assessed the scalability of a tested health management-strengthening intervention (MSI) at the district level in Ghana, Malawi and Uganda.

This end evaluation covers the period from the start of the project (in April 2019) until the end in March 2022, which marked the end of three years of project implementation. It focuses on the effects of the project for primary stakeholders (ZAGO, implementing parties) and secondary stakeholders (the actors ZAGO aimed to influence). The effects of the project on tertiary stakeholders are qualitatively assessed in those communities targeted by ZAGO. The project has been too short, though, to be able to measure community impact, in the sense of the number of women accessing safe abortion services, the number of lives saved, and so on.

Sustainability and inclusiveness are at the top of many international political agendas, and policymakers are asked to report progress against such priorities. A notable challenge confronting the development of the aquaculture value chain in Zambia is ensuring that the larger-scale commercial sector can continue to grow and generate economic benefits for the country, while simultaneously safeguarding inclusive and sustainable growth of smallholder production systems.

Churches can no longer ignore the growing challenges caused by unsustainable population growth on the continent. Unless the church starts addressing the issue of population and development urgently and adequately, it will not be able to offer transformative guidance to its followers on the continent. This case study presents the way in which the All Africa Conference of Churches (AACC) has raised this potential by encouraging their members to think about it and develop their own context-specific approaches.

Agricultural production frequently competes with forest conservation. The issue is particularly significant in developing countries where economic pressures frequently drive projects oriented at short-term economic gains at the expense of deforestation and long-term sustainable development. This working paper offers a review of business models combining agriculture with conservation objectives and portrays two illustrative case studies from the cocoa and coffee value chains.

This book marks a shift away from a typical, instrumentalist outlook focused on how gender analysis can contribute to research objectives, such as improved productivity. Contributors intentionally flip the question to ask: How does agricultural and environmental research and development contribute to gender equality and women’s empowerment? By reframing the analysis, the book puts gender equality and women’s empowerment at the center of agricultural development.

For several years, the faith community has intensively worked with other civil society members in the East African region to advocate for and mobilise support for the SRHR Bill of the East Africa Community. Faith to Action Network facilitated faith leadership and faith community interactions with the East African Legislative Assembly (EALA), in order to expand the Bill’s coverage and address the contentious issues. This case study documents the history of the Bill, and the advocacy strategies and actions that aimed to get the EAC SRHR Bill re‐tabled and adopted.

To improve the delivery of health interventions, people-centred approaches are needed, both to ensure that interventions are accessible and address health care needs appropriately. There is a growing body of evidence demonstrating that the feedback of patients and community members can improve programmatic activities and lead to the more equitable and comprehensive distribution of programme interventions.

This learning brief looks at the pilots of several Beneficiary Feedback Mechanisms across countries in the Ascend project.
