As central agencies seem to define missions and objectives but do not invest the necessary means to achieve them, little co-ordination is possible between these policy areas. In addition, intensive competition between different ministries is common in water, energy and agricultural policy co-ordination in several LAC countries. In Chile, water policies in the agricultural sector are designed by two separate ministries with different interests: the Ministry of Public Works, through its Office of Water Infrastructure (dams, irrigation, etc.) Lastly, unclear allocation of roles and a lack of institutional incentives for co-operation are also cited as common concerns for both water-energy and water-agricultural policy coherence.
