Paths to scaling-up: Alternative strategies for local nongovernmental organizations. Uvin, P. & Miller, D. Human organization, 55(3):344-354, 1996. Website abstract bibtex This article proposes an initial scientific look at scaling-up, i.e., the process whereby non-governmental organizations (NGOs) increase their impact. It distinguishes four types of scaling-up - quantitative, functional, political and organizational - and discusses the paths organizations can employ to achieve these types. The article constitutes what can be called a "pre-theory:" the development of some clear definitions and taxonomies, which can constitute the basis for scientific investigation and comparative discussion. The conclusion of this article briefly presents two visions for approaching NGO scaling-up in its larger social context.
