Owais Shafiq Participating in the Antara Foundation’s fellowship program is my attempt to develop a field-based thought process. At Antara Foundation, scalability is a necessary thought. A scalable solution is one that can be replicated easily to reach a larger population. This approach seems logical to me, because scalability also encompasses program sustainability, replicability, and long-term impact. The last few months have exposed me to the difficulties of thinking and working with the question - ‘can this solution be scaled’ while on the field. Spending a significant part of your day in the field with constant community interaction exposes you directly to the cause and effect of many existing fault lines. There is an urge to create a positive impact which brings to life the struggles involved in the scalability approach. Scalability is a big win and big wins require a significant amount of time. Room for solving what might be micro issues in the grander scheme of
