1. 	PERFORMANCE  
1.1. 	Progress  in  implementation  –  Article  35(2),  point  (a),  of  Regulation  (EU)  
2021/1147  
For each specific objective, report on progress in implementing the programme and in achieving the  
milestones and targets set out in it, taking into account the most recent data for the accounting year, as  required under Article 42 of Regulation (EU) 2021/1060. This refers to the cumulative data provided  by 31 July of the year before the year that the report is submitted.  
Within each specific objective, the information on progress should preferably be structured around the  implementation measures, indicative actions and desired outcomes identified in the programme.   Describe also any steps taken and relevant activities related to the implementation of the partnership as  per Article 8(2) of Regulation (EU) 2021/1060.  
Ohjelmaa ei oltu hyväksytty 30.6.2022 mennessä. Ensimmäinen haku järjestettiin toukokuussa 2022 ja siinä vastaanotettiin yhdeksän hakemusta. Toukokuun haussa myönnettiin avustusta 5,95 miljoonaa euroa.
Programmet hade inte godkänts före 30.6.2022. Den första ansökningen ordnades i maj 2022 och då mottagades nio ansökningar. I ansökningen i maj beviljades 5,95 miljoner euro understöd.	
1.2. 	Issues  affecting  performance  –  Article  35(2),  point  (b),  of  Regulation  (EU)  
2021/1147  
For each specific objective, describe any issues affecting the performance of the programme during the  
accounting year and any actions taken to address them.   
Whenever possible and relevant, you are encouraged to distinguish between issues related to:  
– 	underreporting of achievements;1  
– 	target setting;2  
– 	procedural delays and administrative capacity;3  
– 	contextual changes;4  
                                                  
1 	This refers to the situation when there is a gap between the nominal target achievement rate measured by the  indicators and the actual progress in implementation. For instance, under-reporting of output and results could be  due to issues with the development of the IT system, ongoing operations for which output and results are not yet  reported, issues with the data collection leading to slow or incomplete reporting, etc.  
2 	This refers to a situation where the low target achievement rate is not due to slow progress but rather to incorrect or  unrealistic target setting. It may include lessons learned in connection with the establishment of a methodology for  target setting – such as wrong or incomplete assumptions or issues with the benchmark values selected – and any  planned changes to it.  
3 	For instance, issues related to tendering procedures, issues with audit procedures, issues linked to lack of resources  
at the managing authority level, an unforeseen delay in the adoption of the programme, etc.  

– 	the design and/or implementation of the operations;5   
– 	any other matter.   
Describe any changes to strategy or national objectives, or any factors that may lead to changes in the  future, as well as the modifications that those changes have produced in the targets estimated as per  the methodology to establish the performance framework.  
Include information on any reasoned opinions delivered by the Commission in respect of infringement  proceedings under Article 258 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union (TFEU), and  which are linked to the implementation of the fund.  
Ohjelmaa ei oltu hyväksytty 30.6.2022 mennessä. Ohjelmassa on huomioitu Venäjän hyökkäyksen Ukrainalle aiheuttamat seuraukset ja rahastosta tuettavilla toimilla voidaan kattaa Ukrainasta sotaa pakenevien tarpeita.
Programmet hade inte godkänts före 30.6.2022. Programmet tar hänsyn till konsekvenserna av Rysslands anfall mot Ukraina, och med de åtgärder som stöds ur fonden kan man täcka behoven hos de som flyr från Ukraina.

1.3. 	Specific mitigation measures  
If relevant, describe briefly how the programme activities contributed to mitigating the effects of any  sudden changes in the migratory pressure resulting from any unforeseen deterioration of the socio- economic or political situation in relevant third countries. Whenever possible, refer to the volume of  resources redeployed for this purpose, and the related outputs and results achieved.   
Pay specific attention to activities carried out to mitigate the effects of such sudden changes and whose  achievements may not be fully captured by the common output and result indicators.   
Ohjelmaa ei oltu hyväksytty 30.6.2022 mennessä.
Programmet hade inte godkänts före 30.6.2022.
1.4. 	Operating support – Article 21(3) of Regulation (EU) 2021/1147  
If operating support was used during the accounting year, describe how it contributed to achieving the  objectives of the fund.6   
If the total cumulative eligible cost of operating support for the operations selected for support exceeds  15%  of  the  total  programme  allocation  at  the  end  of  the  accounting  year,  explain  the  reasons.  Additionally, if there is a risk that the threshold is exceeded by the end of the programming period,  describe the measures envisaged to mitigate it.   
Toukokuun haussa myönnettiin operatiivista tukea Maahanmuuttovirastolle 2,53 miljoonaa euroa. Tuen vaikutuksia ohjelman toteuttamiseen ei voida vielä arvioida, koska ohjelmaa ei oltu hyväksytty 30.6.2022 mennessä.
I ansökningen i maj beviljades 2,53 miljoner euro operativt stöd till Migrationsverket. Stödets effekter på genomförandet av programmet kan ännu inte bedömas eftersom programmet inte hade godkänts före 30.6.2022.

4 	This can include, for instance, socio-economic or political factors, changes in the regulatory context, etc.  
5 	For instance, issues to do with the scope of the action (e.g. eligibility criteria), low interest from beneficiaries or  
participants, any deviation in the implementation of the action, etc.   
6 	If relevant for this purpose, refer to the information which is in scope of Regulation 2021/1147 and available as a  
result of Schengen evaluations, carried out in accordance with Council Regulation (EU) No 1053/2013 of 7  October 2013 establishing an evaluation and monitoring mechanism to verify the application of the Schengen  acquis and repealing the Decision of the Executive Committee of 16 September 1998 setting up a Standing  Committee  on  the  evaluation  and  implementation  of  Schengen  (OJ  L  295,  6.11.2013,  p.  27)  and  Council  Regulation (EU) 2022/922 of 9 June 2022 on the establishment and operation of an evaluation and monitoring  mechanism to verify the application of the Schengen acquis, and repealing Regulation (EU) No 1053/2013 (OJ L  160, 15.6.2022, p. 1).  

1.5. 	Specific actions7     
Describe the main achievements of any specific actions carried out during the accounting year, and  how they contributed to achieving the objectives of the programme and to generating EU added  value.8    
Describe  how  the  individual  actions  have  advanced,  both  procedurally9  and  operationally10  and  highlight any issues affecting their performance, in particular any risk of underspending.   
If relevant, break this information down to the project level. If any deviation from the original  planning is expected, explain the reasons for this, describe any mitigating actions taken, and provide  the revised timetable.

Ohjelmakauden 2021-2027 verkkosivut julkaistiin 6.5.2022. Verkkosivut ovat saatavilla suomeksi ja ruotsiksi, ja ne ovat alusta lähtien olleet saavutettavuusasetuksen mukaiset. Verkkosivujen aikataulun mukaisen julkaisun ja muiden viestintätoimien tuloksena kansalaisten ja tärkeiden sidosryhmien tietoisuus EU-rahoituksella tehtävästä toiminnasta ja saavutetuista tuloksista lisääntyi.
Verkkosivujen aineistopankissa julkaistiin hakijoille suunnattu opas. Kevään 2022 aikana järjestettiin kyselytunteja ja hakukoulutuksia etäyhteydellä. Viestintäsuunnitelman tavoitteita toteutettiin myös järjestämällä Eurooppa-päivän tapahtuma yhteistyössä sidosryhmien kanssa ja osallistumalla INFORM EU-viestintäverkoston toimintaan. Rahastojen viestintävastaava osallistui INFORM EU-kokouksiin etäyhteydellä ja paikan päällä verkoston kokouksessa Maltalla. 
Kaikessa rahastojen viestinnässä on huomioitu saavutettavuus ja viestintää on toteutettu viestintäsuunnitelman mukaan. Viestintäsuunnitelma vuodelle 2022 on laadittu yleisasetuksen (CPR) tavoitteiden mukaan ja huomioiden hallintoviranomaisen viestintälinjaukset.
Ohjelmakauden ensimmäinen haku järjestettiin 9.5.-6.6.2022, ja siitä viestittiin uusilla verkkosivuilla sekä twitterissä. Viestintästrategian mukaisesti tavoitimme laajan joukon potentiaalisia hakijoita yhteiskunnan eri sektoreilta ja siinä onnistuttiin verrattain hyvin, hakemuksia saapui 9 kappaletta ja avustusta haettiin n. 7,2 miljoonaa euroa. AMIF idea- ja kumppanuushaku järjestettiin 22.6.-26.8.2022. Idea- ja kumppanihaun tavoitteena oli parantaa yksittäisten pienempien hankkeiden menestymistä tulevassa syksyn AMIF-rahastojen haussa II/2022, sillä useamman toimijan yhteisillä kumppanuushankkeilla saavutetaan parempaa vaikuttavuutta. Ideahausta viestittiin verkkosivuilla sekä sosiaalisessa mediassa.

Webbplatsen för programperioden 2021-2027 offentliggjordes den 6 maj 2022. Webbplatsen finns på finska och svenska och har sedan starten varit förenlig med tillgänglighetsförordningen. Som ett resultat av webbplatsen som lanserades enligt tidsplanen och andra kommunikationsaktiviteter ökade medvetenheten om EU-finansierad verksamhet och resultat bland medborgare och viktiga intressenter. 
En vägledning för sökande publicerades i resursbanken på webbplatsen. Under våren 2022 anordnades fråge- och svarssessioner och utbildningstillfällen på distans för de sökande. Målen i kommunikationsplanen genomfördes också genom att organisera ett evenemang på Europadagen i samarbete med intressenter och genom att delta i EU:s kommunikationsnätverk INFORM. Fondernas kommunikationsansvarige deltog i INFORM EU-möten på distans och på plats vid ett nätverksmöte på Malta. 
Tillgänglighet har beaktats i all kommunikation från fonderna och kommunikationen har genomförts i enlighet med kommunikationsplanen. Kommunikationsplanen för 2022 utarbetades i enlighet med målen i den allmänna förordningen (CPR) och med beaktande av den finska förvaltningsmyndighetens riktlinjer för kommunikation.
Den första ansökan av programperioden organiserades från 9 maj till 6 juni 2022, och den tillkännagavs på den nya webbplatsen och på Twitter. I linje med kommunikationsstrategin nådde vi ut till ett brett spektrum av potentiella sökande från olika samhällssektorer och det var relativt framgångsrikt,  9 ansökningar inkom och ca 7,2 miljoner euro i stöd söktes. AMIF idé- och partnerutlysningen ordnades 22.6.-26.8.2022. Syftet med idé- och partnerutlysningen var att förbättra framgången för enskilda mindre projekt under den kommande höstens AMIF -utlysning II/2022, eftersom partnerskap med flera aktörer uppnår bättre effekt. Idésökningen kommunicerades på hemsidan och sociala medier.
