Green Nexus regional networks

The Green Nexus regional networks are sub-networks under the (global) RésEAU that focus on specific regions where SDC is operating. The regional networks allow involving and serving RésEAU members that focus on the same geographical region. They function with a high degree of autonomy and can organize themselves according to perceived and agreed needs.

Green Nexus

The RésEAU Network is thematically related to the Climate, DRR and Environment Network (CDE) and the Agriculture  and Food Systems Network (A+FS). These Networks cooperate to make best use of the synergies – forming a so-called Cluster Green and promoting the integration of climate, DRR, environment, agriculture, food and water into the SDC operations.

Agriculture and Food Systems Network
Knowledge exchange platform of development practitioners working in the area of agriculture and food systems.

SDC Climate, DRR & Environment Network
The Network fosters knowledge, assists the policy dialogue in-house, disseminates experiences and innovation from SDC and partners, and informs on multilateral engagement in Climate and DRR action.
