We applied a qualitative approach that combined conducting 25 semi-structured interviews of main stakeholders and analyzing documentation. We found that increased demand for school meals from families, the perception of increasing exposure to insufficiently managed risks associated with growing accountability requirements constitute the main drivers for change to the centralization of certain risk-sensitive, costly, and low social purpose activities, thus providing the municipality authorities with more control over the system while preserving the associative function.Nathalie BrenderBledi YzeirajFlorian DupuyTaylor & Francis Grouparticlenetwork governancepublic governance modelaccountabilitymunicipalitynon-profit organizationscase studyBusinessHF5001-6182Management.
