Abstract
The COVID-19 pandemic has had massive, global-scale impacts. For the
realization of policy goals, the pandemic calls for citizen co-production. Since
most policies are voluntary, levers for encouraging compliance with them oblige
public servants to find ways to activate residents’ civic sense of duty. Such
efforts are likely to be more effective if they harness the popular legitimacy
of intermediaries – from civic organizations to for-profit companies – that can
exert normative pressure for compliance. With the aim of the management and
reduction of health, economic risks, and damages, several initiatives have been
organized in Hungary. Initiators included political parties, registered NGOs,
companies and informal groups and communities.
