# Coalitions

Coalitions in PEARS map to the **Multisector Partnerships and Coalitions** section within **Coordination and Collaboration** in N-PEARS. Data is exported per coalition with member counts grouped by sector.

## Inclusion Criteria

In addition to the [global criteria](/analyze/n-pears-export.md), the following rules apply:

* Only coalitions with at least **5 distinct sectors** represented among their members are included.
* Coalitions with a jurisdiction level of **International** are excluded.

{% hint style="info" %}
**TIP:** The distinct sector count includes both named sectors and unique "Other" sector values. A coalition with 4 named sectors and 1 unique "Other" sector qualifies.
