Abstract

Cross-sector collaboration is one way that can be done to increase the potential of the organization, improve service effectiveness, and open opportunities for further collaboration in the future. As part of efforts to overcome mental health trauma among the earthquake survivors in Lombok, West Nusa Tenggara, Udayana One Health Collaborating Center (Udayana OHCC) launched an effort in 2019 to integrate the academic, business, community and government (ABCG) into the mental health and psychosocial support programs. The central theme was the process and the importance of the collaboration strategies among the parties. This study aims to observe the collaboration process between ABCG to deliver the program and elaborate on the role of each party in providing services to the community. This study also aims to build a basis for future research regarding ABCG collaboration in delivering community development projects. Our findings indicated that collaboration was best delivered when all parties involved had similar visions and considering other parties’ needs and goals. In this case, academics and business ensure the implementation of the program, both ensuring quality and financial security. As the party that has the authority, the government plays an essential role in communicating the program to the community. Likewise, the community also plays a crucial role in the sustainability of the program. Challenges, such as miscommunication and the existence of special norms applicable in the local area can be overcome by the existence of a clear division of duties in the collaboration agreement between all parties. Realizing that there is no dominant party is also one of the important things to hold the community for the sake of program sustainability. Following the practice, it is recommended that program makers work together with the local community to develop and implement the program, as well as facilitating collaboration across agencies to maintain the quality and sustainability of the program.
