Therefore, coordination can be:- Act of managing interdependencies during
activities that must be performed to achieve an objective
- Way to focus on common problems and challenges, in order to reach objectives through measures and their implementation
- Processes which facilitates adaptation and learning as they are the mechanisms for the construction of collective knowledge

Coordination• Vertical cooperation among different
territorail levels• Horizontal cooperation among
different sectors• Different levels of horizontal
cooperation• Institutions – governance• Participative planning, coordination
of interests (through negotiation, mediation, facilitiation), stakeholder involvement
