Annual Technical Report 2025: Scaling for Impact Science Program

CGIAR has developed tens of thousands of innovations, yet only a fraction have reached the scale needed to create real-world impact. Scaling for Impact (S4I) was created to close this gap. By aligning research supply with stakeholder demand, embedding scaling into innovation processes from the outset, and forging transformative public and private partnerships, S4I turns proven solutions into meaningful development outcomes. As CGIAR's first systemwide scaling program, S4I acts as a connective layer across the broader research and innovation portfolio — amplifying the reach of Programs by packaging their validated innovations into delivery models that drive measurable gains in livelihoods, food security, and climate resilience at scale.
