samordnat

Samordnat is a Swedish adjective meaning coordinated, harmonized, or unified in arrangement. It derives from the verb samordna (to coordinate), formed from sam- (“together”) and ordna (“to arrange”). As a past participle, samordnat is used to describe actions, plans, or systems that have been aligned across actors or components.

In practical use, the term appears often in public administration, emergency management, logistics, and project planning. It signals that multiple parties have synchronized their efforts under a common framework or plan. Examples include samordnat räddningsarbete (coordinated rescue operations), samordnade insatser mellan myndigheter (joint actions between agencies), and ett samordnat transport- och logistiksystem.

The related noun samordning denotes the process of coordination, while samordnare refers to a coordinator who oversees such efforts. The term is closely related to samverkan, which emphasizes collaborative interaction among organizations. In official language, samordnat is used to describe policies, plans, and operations designed to be executed with inter-agency cooperation.
