Social Sciences - Government / Politics / NGOs
German term or phrase: Arbeitsstraenge
"Die Koordinierung der vielen G20-Arbeitsgruppen und der verschiedenen Arbeitsstränge in der Entwicklungsgruppe selbst stellt eine Herausforderung dar."

What I have so far:

Coordinating the many G20 working groups and the different ARBEITSSTRAENGE in the Development Working Group itself represents a challenge

Any ideas?

Explanation:
... seems to be fairly common, and is used by the G20 themselves.

See, for example,

"We will develop in cooperation with other G20 work streams the necessary policy framework to realize the potential benefits of innovation, the new industrial revolution and the digital economy and ensure that these benefits are inclusive and widely shared."

  -> Fair enough. But lines of work or disciplines may be too broad. These are work groups that drill down in very specific areas.
