Quarterly Webinars

As part of its ongoing capacity-building initiative, SDCC-AP will conduct a series of Quarterly Webinars in 2025. These webinars will aim to foster solidarity, peer learning, and collaboration among members, while also serving as a platform for mutual skill-sharing, community building, and sustained engagement within the coalition.

To ensure these webinars are responsive to the real needs and interests of members, the Steering Committee has proposed a Skills Mapping Exercise to be undertaken by an External Consultant. This mapping will inform webinar content, facilitation, modalities, and long-term strategy.

Objectives of the Quarterly Webinars
  • Facilitate peer learning, knowledge sharing, and skills development.
  • Strengthen connections and solidarity among members across the region.
  • Create opportunities for collaboration, joint advocacy, and strategic planning.
  • Support the identification of skill gaps and capacity needs within the coalition.
  • Maintain regular engagement with all members of SDCC-AP.
Skills Mapping Process

A dedicated Skills Mapping Consultant will be recruited to design and conduct a participatory skills mapping process that reflects the experiences and aspirations of both Founding Members and new members of SDCC-AP. The Consultant will:

  • Assess members’ existing expertise, interests, and capacity-building needs.
  • Identify priority areas aligned with SDCC-AP’s strategic goals.
  • Develop a framework for ongoing webinar programming.
  • Propose a clear and practical evaluation mechanism for these sessions.

This process will ensure that quarterly webinars are tailored, meaningful, and effectively contribute to strengthening the collective capabilities of the coalition.
