The Rockefeller Foundation Catalytic Capital (RFCC) launched the Reimagining Humanitarian Nutrition Security (RHNS) initiative, a 2+1-year pilot in three fragile states (Somalia, Haiti, Philippines-Mindanao region) to advance a shared vision of humanitarian food assistance aligned with long-term nutrition security and climate adaptation plans. Locally led by design, the program will help build resilient, community-anchored food systems. At its core, this reimagined approach embeds scaling principles into the design and implementation of three integrated components to ensure that, after the pilot, the program remains scalable, sustainable, and adaptable across diverse institutional, political, and geographic contexts. 

The Scaling Community of Practice (the SCoP), in collaboration with Dalberg Catalyst, will support this initiative through a structured advisory role guided by the following Theory of Change: if scaling is intentionally integrated into program design from the outset—and regularly updated through iterative learning, stakeholder engagement, and adaptive management—the probability of achieving sustainable, scalable impact increases substantially. The SCoP will apply this theory across all components, ensuring that scaling is systematic, evidence-driven, and aligned with good scaling practice, while strengthening institutional capacity and creating an enabling environment for long-term impact. 

Country Pilots Component: Rockefeller will engage implementing organizations in three fragile states to integrate anticipatory data systems into humanitarian planning and action to strengthen resilience in agriculture, food, and nutrition systems. Each pilot will develop methods for delivering data outputs to actors on the ground (delivery), helping them interpret and act on the information (decision making and action). The SCoP will work during the inception phase with implementing partners and local stakeholders to create a scaling vision and pathway, embedding scaling principles into pilot design and implementation. It will provide iterative advisory support to ensure adaptive management, continuous learning, and alignment with sound scaling practice, and will assist in developing transformational country platforms where appropriate to institutionalize, sustain, and expand impact. 

MEAL for Scaling and Policy Dialogue Component: This ambitious component will pilot approaches to: (i) providing reliable, high-quality data and weather advisories for climate adaptation; (ii) creating viable delivery mechanisms; and (iii) ensuring users translate information into improved decision making and impact. Each area will face challenges in technology, institutions, and political economy. Capturing learning from pilots will be critical to inform global policy dialogue, scaling efforts, and future applied research. The SCoP will lead cross-country learning, synthesis, and dissemination of evidence, ensuring scaling is fully integrated into MEAL to support adaptive management, track progress in scaling, and shape the enabling conditions required for sustained policy influence and systems transformation.
