The Centre of Expertise in Immigrant Integration has compiled information on the situation in Afghanistan on this website. The materials have been produced by the Government and other authorities, and in part by municipalities and organisations. We are regularly updating the website.
The information has been compiled to support those who encounter people affected by the crisis in Afghanistan in their work. We cooperate with the Ministry of Social Affairs and Health, the Finnish Institute for Health and Welfare, the Finnish Immigration Service and other key authorities concerning the situation in Afghanistan.
