PAPER | Developing Multisector Collaborations

Written by Marya Axner | August 7, 2015

People are realizing that they can't wait for the "experts" to come up with the solutions. Community people are developing their own organizations and expertise. They are often taking the lead with government institutions, businesses, and non-profit organizations todo what will benefit the whole community, not just one powerful interest group.

One of the tools that community people are using to solve these "big" problems is
multisector collaboration, which is the focus of this section. But before we go further, remember--even though the term "multisector collaboration"sounds like a fancy term, it is just a tool that ordinary people use to get things done. This article will allow you to learn about how to make it work for you.
