COVID-19:
RESPONDING TO THE PANDEMIC

As a company dedicated to the health and wellbeing of underserved people globally, we are deeply concerned about the effects of COVID-19 on the communities we serve. While COVID-19 spreads rapidly, we continue providing our partners with critical services as well as responding to the growing crisis. We are supporting partners in pivoting to enable programme continuity, while also developing new ways of supporting preparedness and response efforts across the globe.

Scope is actively contributing to the Inter-agency Working Group of Reproductive Health in Crises. We are researching and advocating for improved COVID-19 services for vulnerable populations, as well as designing rapid, remote means to co-create emergency responses, facility improvements, and community mobilisation efforts.

Our Approach

Creativity flourishes where disciplines intersect.

Our team, our partners, and the communities we serve provide different perspectives and areas of expertise.  Our approach combines these, just like a kaleidoscope. 

We employ an interdisciplinary problem-solving approach and leverage strategic partnerships for systems-centric innovation and impact at scale.

Impact at scale on national and global levels.

Our pathways to impact lead to three orders of change:
People utilise new solutions or changed policy.
People benefit from new solutions or changed policy.
Improved national and global development and health outcomes.

Our way of working sparks interdisciplinary creativity and innovation. The process puts people at the center of problem solving. We build on existing ideas, knowledge, and resources. Co-creation generates wider ownership. Together, we build solutions that accelerate change at scale.
