KAMUT – Kansalaisjärjestöjen merkitys, mahdollisuudet ja arvo osana yhteiskunnan turvallisuutta ja kriisinkestävyyttä

The KAMUT project (Significance, opportunities and value of non-governmental organisations in security and resilience of Finnish society) examines the role of NGOs in carrying out tasks defined in the Security Strategy for Society of Finland and in strengthening resilience. The study is carried out by a consortium led by the University of Vaasa including Laurea University of Applied Sciences, VTT Technical Research Centre, Pellervo economic research PTT and the University of Lapland.

The KAMUT project will map the role and function of Finnish civil society organisations in the implementation of the Finnish Security Strategy for Society from the starting points defined by the Prime Minister’s Office (research activities supporting decision-making of the Finnish Government). The project will also examine the constitutional conditions for the tasks carried out by civil society organisations and their economic value in relation to the Security Strategy for Society. The tasks of Laurea UAS include, for example, gathering interview data in late 2026. The starting points and framework of the project arise from the strategic tasks of the YTS and how different civil society organisations relate to them. The results of the project will be reported in the Policy Brief in late 2026 and in a final report to be published in summer 2027. More information about the project can be found on the Government’s tietokayttoon.fi website. (Image: Prime Minister’s Office)
