Equity Considerations When Scaling for Impact

Previous research from the ROSIE project suggests that scaling teams want to center equity in their work. The teams received external encouragement from funding partners to focus on gender, equity, and social inclusion (GESI). It was also clear that equity-based scaling requires significant time, sensitivity, and resources and is not necessarily incentivized by wider forces and project parameters. Looking at how KIX-ROSIE teams pursued equity is the focus of this brief. Special attention is paid to four distinct ways equity was prioritized in their work.
