co-management
Joint administrative control
Co-management is shared responsibility for administering something, typically between parties who might otherwise have sole control.
The term appears often in natural resource contexts, where government agencies and indigenous communities jointly manage forests, fisheries, or wildlife: The tribe entered a co-management agreement for the salmon runs.
In healthcare, co-management describes physicians from different specialties coordinating a patient's care.
In business, it may refer to shared leadership arrangements.
