Overview

AB is a framework and set of tools designed to meet the challenges organizations in the social sector face when trying to replicate programs to scale their positive impact. Any organization that wishes to collaborate with a group of partners to adopt and adapt existing program-models will find AB an excellent way to make the scaling-out process much simpler and systematic. AB provides a relatively simple 5-stage framework that organizations can follow from project inception to completion, in addition to a number of specific “tools” one can use to ensure they are on the right patch.

The benefits of AB are as follows:

• Makes the scaling-out process much more systematic, thereby reducing the risk of things going wrong
• Provides a simple common framework free of complex jargon that enables like-minded NGOs with synergies to collaborate effectively
• The learning curve is considerably shorter than it would be to scale-out without AB
