Summary/Abstract: The contemporary local governments in the public sphere face the need to undertake multiple actions in response to the existing social problems. In order to solve these problems, The West Pomeranian units of local government use the normative, confidence-based forms of inter-sector cooperation. By transmitting the catalogue of public tasks into the area of their own tasks, the gminas and counties in West Pomeranian Voivodeship develop public policies at their level. Hence, if within a democratic politic-legal order non-governmental organizations are an attribute of a civic society, they should occupy a specific position in co-designing and implementing public tasks. Does West Pomeranian Voivodeship develop public policies based on participation of the non-governmental organizations? If so, in which extent?
