The Kommunaler Sozialverband Sachsen (KSV Sachsen) is a public-law corporation of the Free State of Saxony and a provider of social services. Alongside counties and independent cities, it acts as an approval and sponsoring authority for integration and social assistance, including care services, integration assistance for people with disabilities, and a wide range of child and youth support programs. As a central contact point, KSV Sachsen supports public and independent providers in the areas of daycare centers, school social work, international youth work, family education, as well as supportive services in everyday life (§ 45 SGB XI). Furthermore, it oversees the recognition of health professions, promotes company-supported daycare centers, and performs comprehensive administrative and advisory tasks related to social participation and prevention.
