Abstract

This chapter provides a conceptual framework for digital co-production, including co-commissioning, co-design, codelivery, and co-assessment of public services and outcomes. It illustrates this conceptual framework through a German case study involving citizens participating in a large-scale hackathon to meet COVID-19 challenges. In particular, we will analyse how the #WirVsVirus hackathon (https:// wirvsvirus.org/hackaton/) put co-production into practice from the perspective of a hackathon participant (Claudia Masiga), who has been working on the OpenFoodBank initiative.
