Coordinating for Results: Lessons from a Case Study of Interagency Coordination in Afghanistan

Submitted by on Tue, 10/08/2013 - 11:29

This report focuses on interagency coordination and thus differs from many earlier IBM Center reports that have examined the use of collaboration.  Dr. Strimling Yodsampa notes that, when agencies collaborate, they work side by side toward a shared goal. When they coordinate, they still maintain their organizational autonomy and independence of action, but they deliberately align resources, capabilities, strategies, and implementation in support of shared goals.
