INTRAGOVERNMENTAL

intragovernmental, adj. Within a government; between a single government's departments or officials.

Intragovernmental refers to activities or communication that occur within a government or between different departments or officials of the same government. This term is used to describe interactions that take place within a single organization, rather than between different organizations or governments.

• The intragovernmental committee was formed to coordinate efforts between different departments working on the same project.
• The intragovernmental dispute between the Department of Defense and the Department of State was resolved through negotiations.

These examples illustrate how intragovernmental interactions occur within a single government. In the first example, different departments are working together on a project and need to coordinate their efforts. In the second example, two departments have a disagreement that needs to be resolved through communication and negotiation.
