Issues due to multiplicity of role among different organization: - Manish Jain - 07-28-2016

1.       Unclear Definition of Jurisdiction Areas of Urban Planning Organizations

2.       Overlapping Structural and Administrative Setups Constitute Lack of Organizational Capacity and Service Provision:

3.       Unclear strategy of considering urban actors on collective decision making

4.       Lack of an umbrella organization that works for inter-organizational coordination


Options to promote coordination among different organization


1.      Integration: partnership approach in coordination
a.      Promote a horizontal partnership as a vertically arranged formal partnership arrangement restricts the citizen’s participation. This horizontal partnership can be operationalized for consensus to allocate fund and sharing information.
b.      Coordination board that will be represented with different governments, civil society, private and community organizations. The underlying assumption is sharing the goals, objectives and interest of different organizations, through recognizing stakeholders and mainstreaming their role in decision making may avoid the ongoing bureaucracy
 
2.      Separation: role casting for coordination
For sharing the responsibility to translate the policies into practice it is necessary to separate and distinguish the roles and responsibilities of each organizations and their respective department. The operational mechanism of separation will be based on the output of the coordination committee. The coordination committee will decide the role of each organization for implementing each policy. There is a proposed outline of checklist for separating roles and responsibilities
