New definitions of “cross sector convergence”

Convergence of issues: • Global development problems are complex, interdependent and should not be dealt with

in isolation from one another

Convergence of Solutions:• ADP anticipates a cross sector convergence of solutions to development problems• ADP anticipates a cross-sector convergence of solutions to development problems—

putting the needs of those most affected squarely at the heart of the matter.
