Multi-Sector Approach/Integrated Rural Development

• Allows a variety of basic needs to be addressed simultaneously on different levels
• Enhances collaboration in “working mode” rather than specialization in “expert mode” – initially easier to adopt for community empowerment
  
• Cost-saving - if well coordinated
• Synergetic and cross-cutting benefits – if well coordinated
• Explores new ways of cooperation between Government institutions, NGOs and the private sector
• Strong focus on robust and simple technical strategies combined with extensive training-on-the-job
