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
