SSDN builds capacity through peer learning designed to connect members on specific topics.
Peer learning is at the heart of the SSDN network and capacity building. Peer learning workgroups consist of small group discussion and are designed to connect members on specific topics. Some groups share experiences via conference call while others promote projects and secure funding to implement ideas in their respective communities.
