Solution Exchange is an initiative of the United Nations Country Team in India that offers communities of development practitioners a UN-sponsored space where they can provide and benefit from each other's solutions to the day-to-day challenges they face.  We are connecting people who share similar concerns and interests, bringing them together virtually and face-to-face towards the common objective of problem-solving.  As a member of one of our communities, you can proceed with the confidence that you are not reinventing the wheel.

Communities are organized around selected development targets of both India's Five-Year Plan as well as the globally mandated Millennium Development Goals, contributing to their successful achievement.  Members come from all organizations - government, NGOs, development partners, private sector, academia - interacting on an ongoing basis, building trust and strengthening their identity as a group.

If you are a development practitioner, you are invited to join one or more Solution Exchange communities.

The Solution Exchange website (www.solutionexchange-un.net.in) is undergoing maintenance and would provide only partial services (new member sign-up only) for some time. The regular email based discussions would continue as usual.  Please contact the Resource Team of your community if you require any document. We regret this inconvenience.
We value your membership, and hope that you would continue to contribute to, and benefit from the knowledge sharing in Solution Exchange.

contact coordinator@solutionexchange-un.net for any other requests.
