Challenges to Achieve Intersectoral Collaboration
Single-sector orientation of: Policy making institutions Funding Training Research
No incentive to focus on intersectoral issues Sector-specific paradigms
Challenges to Achieve Intersectoral Collaboration
(Continued) Competition between sectors Complexity and capacity constraints
