Who we are
The SDC e+i Network is meant to:
-
provide operational, thematic advice in the organizational units;
-
foster learning and to transmit knowledge and methodological competence;
-
capitalize experience and to formulate good practices.
It consists of SDC staff and its partners working in the different themes of employment and income creation. The active exchange of experiences and knowledge will create overvalue for all participants and will therefore enhance the effectiveness of SDC's interventions in e+i promotion further.
SDC's thematic medium term orientation for E + I is presented in this document:
