Why is coordination necessary in policy decisions?

Correct answer: To make different departments work together

Coordination means arranging the work of different people, offices, or departments so that they support one another instead of working in isolation. A policy often affects more than one area. For example, an education policy may require cooperation among education officials, finance authorities, local bodies, and schools. If these groups do not share information or follow a common plan, implementation may become slow, confusing, or unequal. Coordination therefore turns a policy decision into organised action.

Option A is correct because coordination makes different departments work together toward the same public goal. The other choices describe harmful or unrelated purposes. Increasing disputes can obstruct implementation, stopping laws is not the purpose of coordination, and greater secrecy can prevent useful cooperation. Good coordination may include meetings, shared instructions, clear responsibilities, and regular review. It improves efficiency and helps citizens receive the intended benefits of a policy.
