efforts by organizations vs organizations' efforts

English Language & Usage Asked on June 25, 2021

What is the difference between efforts by organizations and organizations’ efforts ?

2 Answers

The former indicates passive voice whereas the latter is a genitive in active voice. For the first you ask by whom, the second you ask whose efforts? But they both indicate possession. A simple example could be:

"It was owned by Peter"

and

"Peter owned it".
