FAQ

Am I allowed to scale one only solution?
- You can take to scale as many solutions as you are able to! There is nothing to stop you from picking multiple solutions from different SDGs and countries.
Can I take a solution to scale more than once?
- You can take another solution to scale again ONLY once you have finished implementing the solution, recorded the impact and closed it off in your Marketplace account.
Do I have to limit the solution that I am scaling to only one country?
- Absolutely not! You can scale it to as many countries as possible, the more the better!!
What happens if I cannot finish scaling a solution that I have pledged for?
- We strongly encourage you to finish scaling any solution that you pledge to take to scale. This is to ensure that we do not leave any unfinished projects around the world which actually cause a negative impact, and to make sure the impact towards the Sustainable Development goals is recorded.
Who will contact me from DFC andwho will continue to be my main point of contact?
- The Design for Change partner in your country will be right beside you on your journey of impact. They will be your point of contact and available to support you throughout.
What is the timeline for scaling a solution and what are your expectations of me?
- The timeline will vary for each solution, while some solutions could be scaled effectively in a matter of weeks, there are other solutions that require ongoing care that will take several months to fully realise their impact.
  All that we ask of you is that you take the solutions with wholehearted intentions to scale the impact to your part of the world. Whether this takes weeks or months, we trust that you will do the children’s solutions justice.
Will I get to work directly with the children who originally implemented the chosen project?
- Data and privacy restrictions do not allow us to share the details of the children involved in the original projects so this will not be possible unfortunately.
What do you mean by "Scale"?
- Spreading the impact created by the original solutions to people other than those originally affected. By reaching more people with these solutions, we can help honour each generation’s duties towards the Sustainable Development Goals.
What if the goal I want to pursue is not represented on the I CAN Marketplace?
- This is the first rollout of the I CAN Marketplace with a focused selection of solutions that currently align to 10 of the Sustainable Development Goals, but over the coming years we will be having a secondary rollout of new solutions that will include all 17 of the Sustainable Development Goals.
Do I have to sign a contract to take a solution to scale?
- There is no contract that needs to be signed.
