Important situational variables include ecological variables, structure of public policies, and cross-sectoral relationships (DiMaggio and Anheier 1990).
They believed it had brought tangible benefits in expanding access, improving performance of the health system (aspects such as vitamin A distribution, early antenatal booking, immunization coverage and retention in care of chronic cases all being mentioned), and building inter-sectoral relationships.
The PES policy need to be integrated within agricultural extension and related cross-sectoral extension services to improve farmer's skills and knowledge on conservation-economic development linkages, on-farm decision-making, resource allocation, and strengthening smallholder farmers-private sector relationship through developed markets for ecosystem services.

After determining the direction of causality between electricity consumption and GDP growth, we proceed further to examine dynamic causal relationships between sectoral output growth and electricity consumption.
However, there are significant sectoral differences in this relationship.
The paper concludes that the absence of mandatory quantifiable targets and deadlines and a reliance on both cross-sectoral and multi-level relationships are likely to weaken the ability of the action plan's fundamental objective of decoupling economic growth from resource use.
This sectoral perspective of the relationship between energy consumption and economic development provides a valuable view of the opportunities and challenges facing the GCC region as governments attempt to induce a transition away from an over-reliance on oil and gas.
In particular this relationship requires long term vision, endorsement for cross-sectoral work, well-developed relationships and theoretical and practical knowledge.
Both reports emphasize the importance of better cross-sectoral collaborations and working relationships, incorporating community and non-traditional stakeholders into partnerships, improving methods of data sharing, and harnessing political forces as a means to advocate for and push forward EcoHealth and One Health ideas.How can the 'knowledge-to-action' pillar of EcoHealth be achieved?
