    Abstract

    The purpose of this chapter is to analyze and understand accountability and governance within joint ventures formed to provide public services that are facing increasing demands due to new and more extensive legal requirements and increasing demands from users regarding the type and quality of the services delivered. At the same time, as the demands are increasing, the financial situation in the public sector has in many counties become more difficult, and due to large number of retirements, there is a shortage of people with the right competences.
