To help PPPs with their scaling strategies in practice, PPPLab in cooperation with CIMMYT also developed a tool to strengthen strategies for scale. The tool was developed in 2017 on basis of ongoing research of both organizations on how development initiatives scale in practice. Several test runs with the tool have been carried out with project teams in the Netherlands, Mexico, India, Nepal and Kenya. The Scaling Scan helps you to analyse, reflect on, and sharpen your scaling ambition and approach. The tool consists of a self-assessment that helps you identifying the key challenges for the specific scaling situation and phase you are in.

P2P business models like Airbnb or Uber provide an organised way to collectively share certain resources.

Part 1 of this report discusses instrumental and infrastructural approaches to ID and argues for long-term investments in ID infrastructure. Institutions and individuals each have key roles in the ID ecosystem, and we will discuss the tensions inherent in trying to serve both. Part 2 of this report asks how the ID landscape is changing. Emerging technologies will expand the options for identifying and authenticating individuals and introduce new actors across the DID value chain. While some emerging trends may offer greater opportunity for inclusion, higher confidence in authentication, or better data security, new technologies and new actors may also change the roles of traditional ID-granting institutions and their relationships with ID-holding individuals. How we address these emerging trends in technology will determine whether ID is an instrument of empowerment and inclusion or surveillance, disempowerment, and exclusion.
