Scale-by-Demand

a new private-public partnership
to generate earned revenue from gender equality approaches.

The humanitarian sector needs to find new ways of
working that are financially sustainable and high impact, and that’s why we've launched GiE: Scale-by-Demand.

What is GiE:
Scale-by-Demand?

GiE: Scale-by-Demand is a new private-public partnership where the GiE Group works with organisations to scale their most effective gender equality approaches to other organisations.

We use the power of the market to make this happen. GiE: Scale-by-Demand creates revenue for both partners in the following ways: partner organisations generate funding for their technical teams while the GiE Group makes revenue from the sale of training courses.  

How does GiE: Scale-by-Demand work?

Scale-by-Demand brings together rigorously tested gender equality practice with social enterprise.  We partner with organisations to scale gender equality approaches in following ways:

1
We conduct Market Research, Learning Needs Assessment, and create a Marketing Plan for your proven gender equality approach.  
2
We use our 5,000+ strong GiE Network to bring your approach to market.
With demand in place, we design and deliver gender training that’s specific to your programming approach.
3
We build communities of engaged learners to support them as they bring your approach to a wider audience.
4
We work with you to offer technical advisory support.
5
The Intellectual Property remains with the partner organisation.

What We've Achieved Together

The Feminist Humanitarian Network partnered with the GiE Group to pilot GiE: Scale-by-Demand for a new training course: Introduction to Partnering with Women’s Rights Organisations. This course generated revenue to cover the cost of course design, course delivery, and the facilitation team without the need for grant funding.

The course was led by course guides from Women’s Rights Organisations: Aleul Atem from South Sudan, Amparo Miciano and Alisandra Lei Escobar from the Philippines, Cecilia Chami from Lebanon, and Sumeera Shrestha from Nepal.

The course brought together 38 practitioners from WROs and Women Led Organisations with INGOs, UN, donors, and WROs. Learners came from 25 organisations and 15 countries to develop individual Partnership Improvement Plans.

GiE Brainstrust

The GiE Braintrust is a simple idea: Put the world’s leading  gender in emergencies experts in a room together, task them with identifying and solving the biggest problems on GiE, and encourage them to be candid.  Then give their innovations and solutions some ‘legs’ - including them in client proposals and reports, presenting them in conferences and panels, and publishing them in peer newsletters and humanitarian journals.  Change happens when the best ideas travel.
