​SDC thematic networks

The institutional mandate of the SDC thematic networks is to exchange knowledge and experience in various thematic areas - DRR being one of them - and to upgrade the competence of its members. The networks aim at improving coordination and communication among constituents within the organizational structure of SDC and with its external stakeholders. SDC network members are SDC staff and its partners. The purpose is to enhance thematic knowledge for its integration into the departments and for its operationalisatio. The networks provide a framework in which knowledge is exchanged and skills are built and maintained, with the following functions. 

1. Promote learning and pass on professional and methodical knowledge

2. Provide theme-related operational advice to the organizational units within the network

3. Capitalize on experience and formulate good practices.
