InterAction

Working Groups are a central part of the way InterAction supports and aids its members. Working Groups are first and foremost a place for member agencies to share information that is important to them in several ways:

• by providing a way for member organizations to share information about field-based issues, concerns, and topics;
• by serving as a place for members to receive training and to share best practices with each other; and
• by offering a space for members to develop new products and materials on a given topic.

Working Groups are member driven and supported by InterAction staff (with the exception of a few non-staffed working groups). Members identify an interest, issue area, or need around which they feel their collective voices will clarify or strengthen responses. Depending on the number of member organizations interested, a meeting or consultation is planned to explore the topic and allow members to share their issues and concerns. Such consultations or exploratory meetings may lead to the formation of an on-going Working Group.

InterAction's current working groups are described below. For more information on a specific working group, contact the group's staff contact.
