(320k) Achieving Effective Uptake
Achieving Effective Uptake
1) LEVERAGE THE RIGHT MODEL
Use a Lab-Wide Priority model for internal, innovative uptake efforts, and a model similar to the DFS team for longer-term initiatives with both internal and external uptake objectives.
2) EQUIP A DEDICATED TEAM
Build teams that have relevant technical expertise, knowledge of USAID operations and dynamics, as well as sufficient resources to scale.
3) USE MISSION ENGAGEMENT BEST PRACTICE
Secure USAID staff technical expertise, leverage relationships, utilize assessments to identify opportunities, and align with Mission priorities.
4) BUILD A DIVERSE NETWORK
Be intentional about building and maintaining relationships with operational and programmatic Mission staff, implementing partners, and other actors.
5) EXIT STRATEGICALLY
Plan for exit of short-term teams or Mission engagements. Set targets and monitor outcomes to know when the work will be sustained if USAID/HQ support is no longer available.
