AbstractPurpose: In developing countries there is growing recognition that co-production offers more cost effective and responsive service delivery options in low income areas. This paper explores the way in which co-production initiatives are managed in a developing country, Pakistan.Design: A qualitative comparative case study design is used. Data is collected through 25 semi-structured interviews and document analysis and applies Institutional Analysis and Development (IAD) Framework for analysis.

“…The last identified condition for successful co-production is users' motivation to coproduce. This determinant is also indicated in the literature as essential for effective co-production by Farooqi (2016), Fledderus (2015), Gao (2017), Lember et al (2019), Lino et al (2019), van Eijk andSteen (2016), as well as Verschuere et al (2012). However, "individual motivations are necessary, but not sufficient, for the success of co-production" (Lino et al, 2019, p. 287) and users may need sufficient information about their role in the co-production arrangements and some skills in addition to their motivationthey have to be capable of co-producing (Lino et al, 2019;Cepiku and Giordano, 2014).…”
Purpose: Health promotion is one of the core functions of public health which should be even more strongly recognized as a public good in the time of Covid-19 crisis. The purpose of this paper is to indicate the possibility of using the mechanisms of co-production in health and social care services. Design/Methodology/Approach: Drawing on a literature review, analysis of documents, observation of practices, and an opinion survey, this paper sheds light on the role of Senior Councils in co-production of health promotion activities and explores the requisite conditions for positive results of co-production.
Findings:The research shows that SC are active co-producers in the field of health promotion. Through the co-production of the health promotion activities members of SC receive personal benefits with spillover effects for the whole society and in this way contribute to increasing the wellbeing of the elderly and co-creating the public value. The identified conditions of co-production effectiveness are active engagement of users, mutual trust, co-production capability, willingness of the co-producers to contribute, and users' motivation to co-produce. Practical Implications: The identification of the factors requisite for the positive results of co-production in health promotion may constitute practical recommendations for policymakers and public managers which help them better fulfilled societal needs by social policy in the public sphere, and senior policy in particular. Originality/Value: The co-production of health promotion activities is conducive to the maintenance of health and prevention of disease, thus helping improve the wellbeing of seniors which constitutes the personal value for them. There is also the spillover effect of this co-production for the whole society which constitutes the public value.

“…Several studies highlight the importance of creating new structures within the organization to take responsibility for coproduction. New offices and positions can help create conditions that facilitate coproduction, such as increased accessibility, adaptability, and the improvement of coordination and shared decision making mechanisms (Farooqi, 2016;Farr, 2016;Sicilia et al, 2016;Tu, 2016;Workman, 2011). While the research is modest, some evidence suggests that the independence and agility of these offices may be important.…”
Drawing on the results of a systematic literature review of empirical studies, this paper sheds light on six broad factors that facilitate the initiation and implementation of coproduction in public services. The factors are classified into two overarching categories: (1) organizational factors, including organizational arrangements, professional roles, and managerial tools, and (2) procedural factors, including participant recruitment, participant preparation, and process design. For each set of factors, the paper provides a series of management implications. It concludes with additional observations for practice.
The involvement of vulnerable actors in co-production activities is a debated topic in the current public service literature. While vulnerable actors should have the same opportunities to be involved as other actors, they may not have the needed competences, skills and attitudes to contribute to this process. This paper is part of a broader project on family caregivers’ engagement in remote and rural areas. In particular, it investigates how to facilitate co-production by looking at four co-design workshops with family caregivers, representatives of a local home care agency and researchers. The transcripts of the workshops were coded using NVivo, and the data were analysed based on the existing theory about co-production. Two main findings were identified from the analysis. First, the adoption of co-production by vulnerable actors may occur in conjunction with other forms of engagement. Second, the interactions among facilitators and providers play a crucial role in encouraging the adoption of co-production. We identified at least two strategies that may help facilitators and providers achieve that goal. However, there is a need for an in-depth understanding of how facilitators and providers should interact to enhance implementation of co-production.
