målforbindelsens

Målförbindelsens is the genitive form of the Swedish term målförbindelsen, which refers to a formal commitment to achieve specified goals. In practice, målförbindelsen denotes an obligation to reach defined targets and is commonly embedded in contracts, agreements, or policy documents. The definite form målförbindelsen denotes the commitment itself, while the genitive målförbindelsens indicates “the goal commitment’s” or “of the goal commitment.” The term appears in contexts where accountability, funding, or performance obligations are central.

As a concept, a målförbindelse is used to align incentives and secure measurable outcomes. It may specify targets, time frames, reporting requirements, and consequences if targets are not met. Enforceability depends on the underlying contract and applicable law. In Swedish practice, related terms such as målavtal and resultatbaserad finansiering describe similar ideas of performance-based arrangements.

Examples include a municipal housing program where a målförbindelse ensures delivery of a certain number of units by a deadline; a grant agreement that ties disbursements to achieving energy-efficiency targets; or a supplier contract that withholds payment until performance metrics are verified.
