ühisteenusorgan
An ühisteenusorgan is a term used in Estonian legal and administrative contexts to refer to a body established by multiple municipalities to jointly provide a specific public service. The primary purpose of creating an ühisteenusorgan is to achieve economies of scale, improve the efficiency of service delivery, and ensure a higher quality of service for the residents of the participating municipalities. These organizations can be formed for a wide range of services, including waste management, water supply and sewerage, public transportation, social services, and cultural activities.
The establishment of an ühisteenusorgan typically involves a formal agreement or contract between the member municipalities.
