co-production

Co-production is a collaborative approach where different stakeholders—such as communities, government agencies, and service providers—work together to create and deliver services or solutions. This partnership values the input and expertise of all involved, enhancing the effectiveness of the outcomes. For example, in community health projects, local residents might share their knowledge of health needs while professionals provide resources and expertise, leading to tailored solutions that better serve the community’s unique needs. Co-production fosters shared responsibility and empowers individuals, promoting more sustainable and relevant services.
