Answer 1

A consortium refers to an alliance of organization with a common missìon and purpose work towards a common gain or benefit. While, A coalition refers to an alliance of organization with diverse mission and purpose work towards a gain or benefit which could not be met independently.

As we all know community participation is a part of principles of primary health care. Government has initiated a couple of health programmes in the recent era and its hard for the government to implement it alone on the go.. so the government call for tender among various organisation and they collectively work for achieving a common goal by which a system of care is initiated a coordinated community coalition and they will experience achieve a broad goal with mutual benefit by the diverse strength of partners.

So , in short as we hear from years*" one finger cannot lift a pebble but coordinated move of all fingers together can !
