The Climate Change Working Group is a community of practitioners and analysts focused on knowledge sharing, collaboration, and innovation in scaling up climate change interventions. It is made up of members representing international financial institutions, research institutes, evaluation offices, non-governmental organisations, consultancies, and think tanks. Areas of particular interest for the group include sharing good practices, case studies, methodologies and toolkits for scaling; co-generating knowledge products and collaborating on joint initiatives; identification of conditions conducive to scaling; as well as discussing novel concepts and contributing to thought leadership in scaling up climate change interventions. Like all CoP Working Groups, participation in, and management of, the Climate Change Working Group is done on a purely voluntary basis.

The Nutrition Scaling Working Group (NSWG) aims to create a community of passionate individuals to exchange knowledge, generate ideas, and collaborate to solve problems related to the sustainable and impactful scaling of nutrition interventions. Membership of the Working Group includes more than 100 implementers, researchers, advocates, and donors. Areas of particular interest for the group include knowledge sharing on research and case studies on the scaling up of nutrition interventions and systems and methodologies for scaling; identification of gaps, and lessons learned from within the nutrition community and other sectors; creation of guidance checklists; and the development of analytical tools such as cost-benefit tools. Over the long term, the Working Group aims to develop new knowledge products or position papers on critical issues such as measuring progress in scaling nutrition interventions, need and best opportunities for nutrition scaling, and identification and prioritization of research and knowledge gaps. Like all CoP Working Groups, participation in, and management of, the Nutrition Scaling Working Group is done on a purely voluntary basis.

The Agriculture and Rural Development (ARD) Working Group is made up of individuals from more than 100 official donors, foundations, think tanks, research and development organizations united by their interest in scaling the impact of innovations on food security and rural poverty.  Areas of particular interest for the group include designing for scale, using scaling frameworks, learning about scaling, responsible scaling, sustainability and system thinking.  Members of the Working Group include professionals with vast experience from the field, and the group explicitly tries to learn from the application of complex concepts such as sustainability, systems change and scaling in real world settings by local actors.  In addition to quarterly virtual meetings, the Working Group encourages and supports exchanges among its members on a variety of subjects.  Like all CoP Working Groups, participation in, and management of, the ARD Working Group is done on a purely voluntary basis.

The Scaling-Up in Fragile States Working Group began in May 2016 and includes over 50 professionals from bilateral donors, multilateral institutions, universities, think tanks, business and non-governmental aid agencies. The Group serves as a platform for thought leadership and dialogue on scaling-up in fragile states, as well as a repository of research, policy reports and other resources that inform scaling in difficult contexts.  Additionally, the Group serves as a sounding board for members to share challenges and assess opportunities around specific initiatives--wherever they are in the scaling process.  Group members may invite their partners and affiliates to participate in a session and benefit from the Group's input on their scaling initiatives in fragile contexts. The Working Group’s scope of inquiry involves: (a) applying scaling-up approaches to bridge the nexus between humanitarian, peace and development interventions; (b) elaborating on the obstacles to scaling in fragile states and how they have been overcome, or when scaling should not have been attempted; (c) promoting adaptive, resilient and politically-smart methods for scaling; (d) examining ways to strengthen country institutions and mobilize private sector finance for durable scaling in a range of fragile contexts; The Group looks for opportunities to stimulate wider discussions across the Community of Practice in an effort to promote scalable solutions in the context of the Sustainable Development Goals and Leave No One Behind agenda.
