While coproduction has been the topic of a growing number of scholarly articles, this literature has neglected the relationship between coproduction and community. The concept of coproduction is rooted in the older and broader theoretical framework of community; because community contexts differ, so does the local capacity for coproduction. A typology of "alternative auspices" under which various local functions are carried out suggests that coproduction may be performed by individuals, informal groups, and formal nonprofit organizations. There are implications in this for the local administrator's three general role sets: extra community, local community, and intra-agency roles. Particularly, there may be different local roles-facilitator, broker, and organizer-to be played, depending upon the community's capacity for coproduction.
