A few select Swedish municipalities have recently introduced pilot projects of the Canadian Community Sponsorship integration policy, which is based on collaboration between civil society and the public sector in refugee reception. Departing from a framework of collaborative governance and policy mobility, this study aims to examine the collaboration between the public sector and civil society and the relationship between the community sponsorship project and policy mobility. Six semi-structured interviews with representatives of municipalities, civil society organisations and UNHCR served as a basis in answering how the project can be understood via policy mobility and how the cooperation takes shape, thereby contributing to the fields of cross-sector co-production and policy mobility. Results show that pre-existing relationships between civil society and municipalities have strengthened the collaboration. However, this collaboration blurs lines between new policies and existing practices - thus raising questions on the necessity of adopting this mobile policy. The study also suggests the legitimacy added by UNHCR as an explanation, whilst highlighting the mobility possibilities attributed to Länsstyrelsen. Recommendations include: providing physical meeting spaces, highlighting the uniqueness of the policy and looking into power dynamics to ameliorate the policy adaptation and enhance the mobility potential.
