Muliggjørende

Muliggjørende is a Norwegian adjective meaning enabling or making possible. It describes actions, conditions, or tools that remove obstacles or create prerequisites for a desired outcome. The term is formed from the verb muliggjøre (to enable, to make possible) with the present participle ending -ende. The related noun form is muliggjøring.

Typical usage includes phrases like muliggjørende tiltak (enabling measures), muliggjørende forhold (enabling conditions), and en muliggjørende infrastruktur (infrastructure that enables). In policy, program design, and research, the concept highlights what is needed to achieve goals rather than the goals themselves.

Contexts where muliggjørende is common include urban planning, where it describes infrastructure that enables mobility or development; social policy, where services or structures enable participation and inclusion; digital development, where interoperable systems enable services; and disability or accessibility work, where accommodations enable access and participation.

Synonyms and related terms include tilretteleggende (facilitating), fasiliterende (facilitating), and muliggjøring (the act or process of enabling). The term is widely used in Norwegian formal writing and administrative language to emphasize enabling conditions and processes rather than outcomes alone.
