Smart Scaling for Social Change Organisations
Social enterprise
This is a case study on One Acre Fund’s Path to Reaching 1 Million Farmers.
In this report, we explain One Acre Fund’s approach to scaling, including how we have maintained our
expansion pace, challenges we have encountered, and criteria we set for deciding how and where to grow.
We hope our advice will have value both for implementing organizations working with the extreme poor, as well as funders of those entities. At the same time, we recognize that there is no one-size-fits-all approach to scaling. Every organization has its own unique set of competencies and challenges, and our methodology
represents just one way that successful nonprofits can grow.
