The Collaborative Governance Paradigm

The Collaborative Governance Paradigm is a way of managing public issues that involves multiple stakeholders—such as government agencies, community groups, businesses, and citizens—working together voluntarily. Instead of a single organization making all decisions, these groups collaborate to share resources, knowledge, and responsibility to solve complex problems more effectively. This approach emphasizes transparency, trust, and shared goals, recognizing that complex challenges often require diverse perspectives and collective action to achieve sustainable solutions.
