The FDCN peer network

Finance staff in one National Society are usually solving a problem another Society solved last year. The network is how they find each other.

The Finance Development Competency Network is the Centre's practitioner community. It connects finance staff across National Societies to each other rather than routing every question through the Centre.

It is not a mailing list. Members join a regional group, and the Centre's specialists are in the groups alongside them.
