Some of the projects, working groups and programmes currently underway in the Ministry of the Interior are outlined in these pages. The Government Project Register Hankeikkuna also contains information about current ministerial projects.

Most of the preparation for the projects is carried out in Finnish, so the majority of the additional information is also in Finnish.
