[CGIAR] “He aha te mea nui o te ao? He tangata, he tangata, he tangata. (What is the most important thing in the world? It is people, it is people, it is people.)” These profound words set the tone for the Scaling Fund session at Scaling Week 2024, reflecting the people-centered approach of the Ukama Ustawi Scaling Fund. Over the past year, the Fund facilitated meaningful collaborations among a diverse range of stakeholders, including CGIAR’s Innovation Packaging and Scaling Readiness (IPSR) team, three innovation-winning teams from different CGIAR Centers, and their partners—private–sector actors, farmers, and government officials.
