Abstract

During the COVID-19 pandemic, there were many instances of co-production where citizens and professionals joined forces to deal with the emergency. In this chapter, we explore the importance of co-production during the pandemic, why co-production emerged so widely, and how these experiences have influenced our understanding of co-production. We focus especially on the sustainability of co-production initiatives that emerged during the pandemic. We argue that three conditions are essential for co-production to be sustained over time: (1) the provision of a supportive regulatory framework and the structural allocation of funds, (2) complementarity and (3) a sense of urgency among all those concerned. Areas of public life where there could be a more lasting effect are those where the basic conditions for successful co-production are already in place and where one powerful push is enough for co-production to take off.
