The County Administrative Board
Sweden is divided into 21 counties, each of which has its own County Administrative Board and County Governor.
The function of the County Administrative Boards is to be a representative of the state in their respective counties, and serve as a link between the inhabitants, the municipal authorities, the Central Government, the Swedish Parliament and the central state authorities.
Each County Administrative Board also has its own website where you can read more about the individual county.
The Board in Skåne is a multifaceted authority employing about 500 employees - including lawyers, social scientists, economists, biologists, engineers, social workers, architects, veterinarians and more.
