Abstract

The article is devoted to the study of the development of intersectoral cooperation in initiative projects, which is an important condition for the successful solution of current social, economic, and environmental problems. Cross-sectoral cooperation involves interaction between different sectors of society, including government agencies, private business, NGOs, and academic institutions. Effective integration of resources, knowledge, and interests of various stakeholders is an important factor in achieving sustainable and meaningful results in the implementation of initiative projects. The main problem highlighted in the article is the low level of effectiveness of many initiative projects implemented without proper cross-sectoral cooperation. The lack of clear coordination mechanisms, different approaches to management, and conflicting interests of participants often lead to inefficient use of resources and reduced project performance. Problems related to the lack of transparent mechanisms for cooperation, as well as insufficient communication between participants, can hamper the implementation of even the most promising initiatives. The article discusses the key factors that contribute to the development of intersectoral cooperation, including the need to create institutional and legal mechanisms for coordination, develop a strategy for interaction between sectors, and formulate common goals. The authors emphasise the importance of establishing effective communication between government agencies, businesses and NGOs to ensure the sustainability and effectiveness of initiative projects. They also consider the role of innovation and new technologies, which can be an important tool for adapting projects to a rapidly changing environment.

In general, the article aims to outline the main challenges and opportunities for the development of cross-sectoral cooperation in initiative projects, as well as to offer practical recommendations for creating effective mechanisms that will contribute to the successful implementation of such projects at various levels. The aspects highlighted in the article are important for the development of modern management strategies and sustainable development through cooperation between different sectors of society.
