The SCALE Resource Guide is a comprehensive collection of resources, tools, and learnings developed by the SCALE Award, a United States Agency for International Development (USAID)-funded initiative to enhance the impact, sustainability, and scalability of agriculture, natural resource management, and alternative livelihoods activities in emergency and non-emergency contexts. The guide is designed to support the wider food security community, including Chiefs of Party, technical team leads, USAID partners, government representatives, local organizations, and fellow Associate Award members.
The guide is organized around five main themes: Resilient Agriculture, Livelihoods | Markets, Social and Behavior Change | Adult Learning, Seeds, and Climate Resilience. Each theme is further divided into subtopics, including resilience design, permagardens, quality implementation, market systems approaches, emergency and early recovery, youth, and adult learning.
The guide includes a range of resources, including learning documents, research, technical resources, training materials, and webinars. These resources were produced by the SCALE Award between 2018 and 2022 and are available in English and many other languages. The guide also includes a section on special initiatives, which highlights the work of facilitators of the year.
The SCALE Award has worked in several countries, including Mali, Burkina Faso, Ethiopia, Malawi, Uganda, Nepal, Bangladesh, and Democratic Republic of the Congo, among others. The guide provides a wealth of information and resources for practitioners working in these countries and beyond.
The guide is a testament to the collaborative efforts of the SCALE team and its partners, who have worked together to develop and share knowledge and best practices in the field of agriculture, natural resource management, and alternative livelihoods. The guide is a valuable resource for anyone working in these areas and is a reflection of the commitment to improving the lives of communities around the world.
