This chapter explores the extent to which mayors in Nordic municipalities value the role of civil society in pandemic management. We asked Nordic mayors because, as ombudsmen and representatives, they are a touchpoint for the local community. A general finding is that mayors consider the contributions of voluntary associations and businesses important for local crisis management. However, there are extensive variations in both types of civil society contributions and between countries. The contribution of civil society is perceived as significantly more important in Norwegian and Swedish municipalities than in Finnish, Danish, and Icelandic municipalities.
