sektorilt

Sektorilt is a governance framework that organizes public policy and administration around discrete sectors—such as health, mobility, housing, and environment—rather than around traditional ministries or bureaucratic silos. The aim is to improve policy relevance and accountability by aligning objectives, instruments, and data within each sector while maintaining cross-sector coordination to address shared challenges.

Core elements include sectoral autonomy in setting goals and budgets, sector-specific performance dashboards, and a joint coordination mechanism to resolve intersectoral trade-offs. Implementation typically begins with sector mapping, followed by the creation of sectoral policy cells and indicators, and ends with pilots that test cross-sector collaboration in municipal or regional settings.

Proponents argue that sektorilt can increase policy transparency, tailor interventions to local conditions, and accelerate service delivery. Critics caution that without strong horizontal governance, sectoral focus can lead to fragmentation, inconsistent data standards, and duplicated effort.

Origin and usage of the term vary by language and policy community, but it has appeared in policy discussions and planning documents as a neutral descriptor for this approach. Some adopters combine sektorilt with broader urban governance reform to ensure alignment with national objectives and equity goals.
