NAISR 2.0 comprises thirty tasks distributed across various government agencies, with each task assigned to specific agencies based on their mandates. While lead agencies are identified for each task, this framework encourages cross-agency collaboration, recognizing that successful implementation often requires shared responsibilities and coordinated efforts. This clear delineation of primary responsibilities, combined with collaborative flexibility, ensures focused execution and effective monitoring of progress.
