The danger of Covid-19 was an invisible enemy for life but also an opportunity both for political consensus on the essence and direction and for the strengthening of basic state institutions (structures and procedures). The General Secretariat for Civil Protection is the body that was called upon to coordinate the management of Covid-19 in Greece and to act within the framework of the operation of the European Civil Protection Mechanism. The management of the health risk was a challenge for the organization both for the effective and efficient operation of the body itself and for the implementation of a policy of multilevel governance and European cooperation. The present study attempts to map the internal and external environment of the civil protection institution of Greece with the use of secondary data from the literature, drawing the attention of relevant stakeholders, policy makers and governments, in order for the public policy of governments to find scope and be implemented effectively and efficiently.
