KANUKOKA
KANUKOKA (Greenlandic: Kalaallit Nunaanni Kommunit Kattuffiat, Danish: De Grønlandske Kommuners Landsforening) was the national association of Greenland's municipalities, led by Palle Jeremiassen.[1] The name was an acronym formed from the first two letters of each of the constituent words of the now defunct organization's name in the Greenlandic language.
The aim of the organization was to facilitate cooperation between the municipalities of Greenland. Previously based in Nuuk, the organization ran the municipal elections every four years, with the last election taking place in 2016.[2] All municipal authorities in Greenland were members of the organization up until its 2018 dissolution.[3] The association was overseen by the Minister for Social Affairs in the Government of Greenland (Greenlandic: Naalakkersuisut).[1][4] In 2010 the annual budget of the association was 12.5 million Danish kroner (DKK), with the funds coming directly from municipal budgets.[5]
