Co-production (approach)

<p>Co-production (or coproduction) is an approach in the development and delivery of <a href="/facts/Public_services/gnDGgRmQ">public services</a> and <a href="/facts/Technology/9Uav5WVR">technology</a> in which <a href="/facts/Citizens/eB9UXLSP">citizens</a> and other key stakeholders and concepts in <a href="/facts/Human_society/PulvrYfa">human society</a> are implicitly involved in the process. In many countries, co-production is increasingly perceived as a new public administration paradigm as it involves a whole new thinking about public service delivery and policy development. In co-productive approaches, citizens are not only consulted, but are part of the conception, design, steering, and ongoing management of services. The concept has a long history, arising out of radical theories of knowledge in the 1970s, and can be applied in a range of sectors across society including <a href="/facts/Health_research/4563Kre9">health research</a>, and <a href="/facts/Science%2c_technology_and_society/gaxMPc6b">science</a> more broadly.
