It sometimes takes a great deal of insight and energy to solve a complex local problem such as poverty, crime, or environmental decline.

Multisectoral collaboration strengthens a community’s capacity to address important issues by weaving together the skills, resources, networks and knowledge of the government, business, voluntary sectors and low-income leaders.

We’ve come to understand that multisectoral collaboration is based on 6 key principles (see our video clips for more on these ideas):

  1. Everyone is the solution and the problem.
  2. Together we can do more.
  3. We do not have answers - only a commitment to learn, change and grow.
  4. We take on issues that no one sector can take on alone.
  5. Together we create increased Credibility, Capacity and Capital for the work.
  6. The synergy is magic!
