Towards a better understanding of the nature of the relationship between local governments and private nonprofit organizations and its impact on the accessibility of service delivery.

This research project wants to map the nature of the relationship which is developed due to the Decree of Local Social Policy between private nonprofit organizations (NPO) and local governments and to examine its impact on the accessibility of service delivery through multiple case-study which builds on current large-N research of NPOs in the thirteen biggest Flemish cities.
