Welcoming Laura Ghiron as a Visiting Scholar

Laura Ghiron is President of Partners in Expanding Health Quality and Access, a US-based 501(c)3 nonprofit that stewards and supports the global work of the ExpandNet network. ExpandNet has been working since 2003 to advance both the science and practice of scaling up successfully tested health and development interventions. Laura has served on ExpandNet’s Secretariat since the outset, helping shape the development of global scaling guidance, co-authoring several scientific publications on scaling, and delivering scaling-focused technical assistance to governments, UN agencies, NGOs, and funders. Her current work focuses on building global capacity to more effectively scale health and development innovations, including through the development of the forthcoming Scale-up Learning Center, an open-access online learning curriculum and collaboration platform grounded in ExpandNet/WHO guidance and country experience. Laura has worked for almost 30 years across Asia, Africa, and Latin America to advance the scaling of interventions to improve women’s health as well as other sectors such as education, environmental conservation and more.
