Few frameworks exist for acknowledging and assessing the value of such co-benefits of NBS and to guide cross-sectoral project and policy design and implementation.
In addition to its core sectoral programs of health, nutrition, basic education, and water, it has added a variety of cross-sectoral projects and functions.
A challenge will be to develop smaller scale projects on the local level where participatory planning processes with cross sectoral planning can be implemented.
3: Cross Sectoral programmes which will focus on activities which are critical to the achievement of the country programme results.
Finally, the greater vulnerability of early career researchers has been touched upon above (and see also Hackett 2005b, Davies and Horst 2015), but as yet there is little data on the balance of opportunities and protections for academics in doctoral and postdoctoral positions taking part in large scale, cross-sectoral research projects.
We document variance both within and between groups across numerous potential pathways of impact for the SMG; the heterogeneity in intraclass correlation coefficients (ICCs) across these indicators highlights the importance of understanding the causal chain(s), especially for cross-sectoral development engineering projects like the SMG.
Asili is a multi-sectoral project implemented by the American Refugee Committee and evaluated by Stanford/Packard Global Child Health program researchers.
Cornell University researchers will collaborate on a new, five-year United States Agency for International Development flagship multi-sectoral project to combat malnutrition.
Because the project simultaneously addresses cross-sectoral development deficits, the government, workers, consumers and other civil society groups let alone ancillary industries should have a keen interest in it being successful.
Although the recruitment of two dedicated cross-sectoral staff for leading the pilot project generated a great deal of value and learning to the pilot, it also created an artificial environment with a low likelihood for replication in future humanitarian responses (unless MHM focal points are hired for short-term assistance in the near future until MHM becomes more mainstream).
The project applied a cross-sectoral ecosystem/territorial vision.
