Launch and Scale Speedometer Scaling Life-saving Interventions Faster
Project overview
This initiative systematically analyzed the factors that support or hinder the introduction and scaling of life-saving health technologies and interventions to address critical global health challenges. The Launch and Scale Speedometer provided a robust set of metrics and deep insights to inform policymakers, product developers, and global health funders, of the key enablers and barriers to launch and scale-up interventions in low- and middle-income countries.
