Objective:  Drawing on scaling frameworks and processes, this research will explore several areas of inquiry that we believe are necessary for informing and creating a more impactful and scalable TESFA model. In particular, the research will explore and document:

1. Barriers, facilitators and critical elements to scaling the TESFA model, including through self-replication;
2. Users’ suggestions and ideas for improving the TESFA model and scaling it; and
3. Other avenues and partnerships for multiplying the impact of the TESFA model and ensuring scale.
