124 CHAPTER 5 Figure 3. Municipalities that requested the Solid Start funds Solid Start coalitions Municipalities completed an online questionnaire in 2019 (n = 140), 2020 (n = 251) and 2021 (n = 217) (Table 2). Figure 4 shows the number of municipalities reporting to have formed a local coalition across the country. The numbers increased since 2019 (n = 40), especially from 2020 (n = 59) to 2021 (n = 140). Around half of the municipalities that had a coalition in development in 2020, reported to have formed their coalition a year later. In 2021, 65% (n = 140) of the responding municipalities that received funding formed a coalition. More than half of them collaborated with other municipalities (Table 2). Figure 4. Development of coalitions during 2019 – 2021. The figure shows municipalities’ answers to the question “Did you form a local Solid Start coalition?”
