Summary/Abstract: The concept of “good governance,” reflected in legislation, modifies the nature of the activity of public authorities. It is currently being promoted by international institutions, including the European Union, particularly with regard to its cohesion policy, which should be based on the principles of openness, participation, accountability, effectiveness and cohesion. Therefore, the existing mechanisms of cross-sectoral cooperation are being modified and new organisational and legal forms are emerging. They meet the requirements of openness, partnership and dialogue of public administration with social partners, thus increasing the effectiveness of bodies of public administration. As a result of consultation, as well as through the direct involvement of social partners in the implementation of tasks, the public are more trusting and the actions of public authorities are gaining more legitimacy.
