Over 60 countries have introduced HBB but relatively few have attempted a national rollout. Interventions such as HBB must be
implemented at scale in order to achieve impact at the population level, but this introduces a set of system-related challenges that are not faced during small-scale trials. Improved understanding of the science of scale-up is crucial to achieving population-level impact. This report aims to increase comprehension of how HBB can best be scaled up by documenting the processes that the concerned ministries and their partners followed during national rollouts of HBB in Bangladesh and Malawi from 2011 to 2013.
