SID Chapters

SID Members can be organised into regional chapters* through which they launch development initiatives and events in their constituencies (such as conferences, seminars, lecture series, round tables, advocacy campaigns, charity events), maintaining a strong link with the territory.

SID Chapters work closely with public and private institutions, civil society and academic bodies, offering to their members additional spaces of encounter and exchange about development issues. Policy makers, students, development experts and professionals from different sectors have the opportunity to confront theory and practices, discuss current policies and identify alternative views about development.

*SID International and its regional chapters operate as completely independent entities with no administrative, financial, or operational ties.

SID chapters are able to contribute to the national/regional development agenda with respect to the broader international context. 
Their activities provide the connecting link between the local and the global development debates.
