1 Understand the context

Before you start to adapt and scale up your peacebuilding innovation, you need to understand the context where you plan to implement it. This means conducting a thorough conflict analysis, stakeholder mapping, and needs assessment to identify the main sources and dynamics of conflict, the key actors and their interests, the existing capacities and gaps, and the potential risks and opportunities. You also need to understand the legal, political, social, cultural, and environmental factors that may affect your innovation, and how they may change over time. By understanding the context, you can tailor your innovation to the specific needs and realities of the people and the situation, and avoid causing harm or unintended consequences.

Understanding the context of the environment or subject matter you are studying/researching should present itself as a clear first step for any project. Through allowing yourself to explore the context, you not only grasp a better understanding of the matter, but also improve the forthcoming effectiveness, efficiency, and quality of your project and potential findings.

2 Engage with stakeholders

Another important step to adapt and scale up your peacebuilding innovation is to engage with the relevant stakeholders, especially the local communities and beneficiaries, who are the primary agents of change and peace. You need to involve them in the design, testing, feedback, and evaluation of your innovation, and ensure that they have a voice and a choice in the process. You also need to build trust and relationships with other stakeholders, such as local authorities, civil society organizations, donors, partners, and media, who can support or hinder your innovation. By engaging with stakeholders, you can ensure that your innovation is responsive, participatory, accountable, and legitimate, and that it reflects the diversity and complexity of the context.

Engaging with stakeholders is greatly vital for the success of any project. These stakeholders will not only ensure the transparency of your project but additionally inform you of their expectations and perspectives, thus allowing you to better improve and mold your project to the conditions under which you are working.

3 Experiment and learn

One of the main characteristics of peacebuilding innovation is that it is experimental and iterative. This means that you need to be flexible and adaptable, and willing to test, learn, and improve your innovation as you go along. You need to use evidence-based methods, such as pilot testing, prototyping, monitoring, and evaluation, to measure the impact and effectiveness of your innovation, and to identify what works and what doesn't. You also need to be open and transparent, and share your results and lessons learned with your stakeholders and peers, and learn from their experiences and feedback. By experimenting and learning, you can enhance the quality and relevance of your innovation, and foster a culture of innovation and learning in the peacebuilding field.

Experiment, explore, and innovate! These are actions one should be conducting non-stop throughout their peace-building projects if they wish to improve and grow! Through exploration and further learning one better understands how to improve, adapt, and expand the quality of their research and findings.

4 Scale up strategically

The ultimate goal of peacebuilding innovation is to scale up its impact and reach, and to contribute to positive and lasting change in the context. However, scaling up is not a linear or simple process. It requires careful planning and strategizing, and a clear vision and theory of change. You need to consider different aspects of scaling up, such as the scope, depth, sustainability, and replication of your innovation, and how they relate to your objectives and resources. You also need to consider the potential challenges and risks of scaling up, such as the loss of quality or ownership, the resistance or backlash from other actors, or the changing or unpredictable circumstances. By scaling up strategically, you can maximize the value and potential of your innovation, and make a difference in the lives of the people and the context.

Scalability of peace operations are dependent of regional cultural diplomacy, including interfaith diplomacy, local public and international relations networking. Because of that do not underestimate the role of developing cultural projects, academic conferences, and policymaking (specially of principles charters).
