The analysis covers in particular the issue of the participation of social partners in the design and implementation of solutions aimed at the development of social services and deinstitutionalization, as well as the model of services co-production in Poland. The analysisis carried out in the context of the social investment paradigm and based on materials collected in the project entitled „Development and pilot implementation of mechanisms and plans for the deinstitutionalization of social services”. The conclusions indicate that regulations and activities strengthening the investment paradigm and service approach in Polish social policy create favorable conditions and potential for stronger networking and real cooperation within local social partnerships.
