KS, which stands for Kommunesektorens Organisasjon, is a prominent brand in Norway. It represents all Norwegian municipalities and county municipalities, working towards an efficient and independent municipal sector that meets the needs of its citizens. One of the essential services provided by KS is the development of scenarios to help municipalities plan for an uncertain future through their tool Kommunesektoren mot 2050 (Municipal Sector towards 2050).

They also focus on issues such as dispensations from planning and building laws, ensuring sustainable municipal healthcare and social services, and promoting clear and effective communication in the municipal sector. Additionally, KS plays an active role in the public sphere, organizing and participating in debates, seminars, and events like Arendalsuka 2023. They advocate for the well-being of politicians and address the issue of harassment and threats affecting the political landscape.

For elected officials, KS provides resources and support through KS Advokatene, and they also have podcasts and informative links to keep stakeholders informed and engaged. Through their comprehensive services and dedication to municipal development, KS demonstrates its commitment to empower the municipal sector and enhance the overall quality of life for citizens in Norway
