Collaborative governance can be defined as: ‘the processes and structures of public policy decision making and management that engage people constructively across the boundaries of public agencies, levels of government, and/or the public, private and civic spheres in order to carry out a public purpose that could not otherwise be accomplished individual Organizations are often confronted to address challenging situations which requires them to respond to public problems and how these organizations have to work together in response to transnational problems"

Collaborative governance involves the government, community and private sectors communicating with each other and working together to achieve more than any one sector could achieve on its own

  • Communicate differently: They communicate their goals before having plans inviting others to co-create and to help
  • Leadership style is different: how to see others in the organization and in the other ones
