joint effort

Working in tandem

A joint effort is work undertaken collaboratively by two or more people or groups.

The phrase emphasizes shared responsibility and contribution: The cleanup was a joint effort between volunteers and city workers.

It often appears when crediting multiple parties for an outcome: This victory was a joint effort.
