Abstract

The findings highlight important considerations for cross-ministerial enterprises. If partnerships are constructed within the existing parameters of systems, the system with the most flexibility will be required to work around its partner’s constraints. The role of the adapter could be acknowledged by having the funding flow through the adapter’s system. Program development will involve a significant time investment including activities to become part of both systems’ culture through education, establishing a presence and identifying boundary spanners. Long-run implications for both systems should also be considered. Copyright Swiss School of Public Health 2012
